Goodreads asked Cristel Orrand:

How do you get inspired to write?

Cristel Orrand It's tiny details, a single word or moment that inspires me to write and it's more often a mood I want to explore more than a particular idea for a plot.

This week I was moved by witnessing a particular kiss (not that interesting of a kiss really, except the angles changed the perception of dominance which struck me as symbolic) and the Arabic word for shadow/darkness- Khayal. Now Khayal is a new character but I've not found space yet for the kiss.
