Goodreads asked Susan Aylworth:

How do you get inspired to write?

Susan Aylworth When a would-be author begins to take her craft seriously, almost everything provides inspiration. It's the "what if" question. Apply it to a news story, someting you see on TV, the story your neighbor tells you, or a world full of other events, and you have the germ of a story. The lovely thing about that is a dozen (or a hundred) different authors can start with the same story germ and come up with entirely different stories. How fun is that?
