Goodreads asked Paullett Golden:

How do you get inspired to write?

Paullett Golden Typically the people I meet inspire me. I'll meet someone and think, "You need a story." By the time I return home, I've already sketched out the person's tale. The people I know don't typically inspire me in terms of characters in stories. I would feel a bit awkward basing characters off of friends, family, or even colleagues. It's new people or complete strangers I meet that inspire me. I don't know them or their real stories, so my imagination fills in the blanks.
