Goodreads asked Gene Cartwright:

How do you get inspired to write?

Gene Cartwright My sainted mother taught me to read when I was barely four years-old. Learning to read opened up boundless vistas that led to being inspired to write. I wrote my first story (90 pages-longhand) when I was in 6th grade.
