Goodreads asked Allie Walker:

How do you get inspired to write?

Allie Walker I was at my day job, and I was answering phones. I took a call from a very snobby girl who didn't sound very bright. I had a moment of clarity and said to myself, "My dream is not to be a receptionist, What am I doing?!" So I went home that night, and I thought about going back to school, applied for more radio jobs, but then my mind was on writing. It had always been there. I had always been decent at it, but it was for me not for the world. The next morning I woke up after I had a dream about those characters I had created a few years ago. It was so vivid, and I knew then that I was going to write something that was going to change my life. I wrote On My Way Home.
