Goodreads asked My'Rese A. Jackson:

How do you get inspired to write?

My'Rese A. Jackson Oh! This is an easy one... In middle school, I went on a reading hiatus because I was dissatisfied. Not because of the way anything was written. I care much more about the story. The issue was that I couldn't find myself in stories. I'm a Black, bi, nonbinary womxn so... Yeah. Nothing was hitting right. Nothing was scratching my itch. Of course there were books out there somewhere, but I couldn't find them. Eventually, I decided to write my own books. The year I published my first book, is the year Children of Blood and Bone came out!!! YAAASSSSS! I recently started a booktube channel because my faith in books is slowly being restored. WOW. Just thinking about it makes me so happy.

Before all of that, I was always writing poetry and lucid dreaming. Yes, I had imaginary friends and they just might have evolved into two or three of my characters. See if you can guess who LMFAO. Trick question? IDK maybe. Define a trick...
