Goodreads asked Maria Robins:

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

Maria Robins This little rhyming book literally came into my head in the middle of the night. I woke up with the words perfectly formed at 3.13 am on May 10th and they were so clear, that I got up and wrote the first page down. Then I went back to bed, only to have the next page come in, and the next and the next. I was up and down out of bed for around an hour and in that time the book was completed. I had always believed in the power of the words I AM and how our thoughts create our reality but it's as if this book was given to me to get out to the world - perhaps because it's written in rhyme so it's a very simple and easy to remember format. I found out months later that the late spiritual teacher Dr Wayne. Dyer was born on May 10th at that exact time, which sent shivers up my spine. I'm sure it was a message from him that he wanted to get out into the world - or maybe he was simply giving me a wake up call and saying ' Stop procrastinating about writing and just do it!' as up until then I had written lots of stuff but not published any of it. Now I've just got to finish these next ones before he wakes me up again!
