Goodreads asked Margo T. Rose:

How do you get inspired to write?

Margo T. Rose Inspiration often comes when I'm not looking for it, and not expecting it. Inspiration comes from events in my life that strongly affect me. Most of my poetry is very emotionally fueled. The people and events in my poetry may not always be true, but the emotions that go with those things almost always are. I am always looking for ways to describe real feelings to real people so perfectly that the reader can feel them too, and not only understand, but feel understood. This is usually easiest at night, or in the wee hours of the morning, when it's quiet, and I'm trying to sleep, and there is nothing else distracting me. If I don't write my ideas down right away, even if they're incomplete, I lose them, and I lose the emotions that go with them, too.
