Andrew Maraniss
I started doing research for the book in 2006, before I was married or had kids. Over the course of researching and writing the book, I got married, moved, had two kids and took on much more responsibility at my real job. So finding time to write was always the biggest challenge: during the kids' naps on weekends, late at night after they'd gone to sleep, during mini-breaks on weekends when everyone else was out of the house for some reason. It wasn't so much a matter of inspiration, but just taking advantage of every potential moment to spend on the book.
