What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Margaret A. Harrell Everything. You evolve with what you're writing. And your mind and imagination are always involved. It's very energizing. And then if people tell you they like what you've written, it's heaven. And kind of astonishing that they discovered in your words what you felt when writing them. That they are moved.

How do you get inspired to write?

Margaret A. Harrell This is about nonfiction. Often there are patches in a draft that I know don't work. So I mull over the patch. Sometimes I read something or research something. Sometimes I do a meditation. Sometimes I take a walk. And it begins to work itself out.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Margaret A. Harrell I have been lucky in the Keep This Quiet! series that when one book is finished, I already have a draft of the next one extending off from the last page. In fact, when I've written earlier books, it's often been like that. The book had to end, and I wasn't finished with what I had to say. But the book had to end. So I found a good stopping point and started the next.
