Goodreads asked Jennifer Chastain:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jennifer Chastain My inspiration comes from various sources. I might see a news story that makes me wonder about backstory. Or a TV show (most reality TV). I find a lot of inspiration in country music songs. I wasn't a fan until about 4 years ago when I really started listening to the lyrics. I would find the complete lyrics online, and some of the messages are just, wow! There is a lot of depth in lyrics. Other times, I'll be having a conversation and someone will say something, I'll have to tell them "hold that thought" while I go find a piece of paper and a pen. Most days, I'll just dictate into the notes app on my phone! You just never know where your inspiration for a story will come from.
