Goodreads asked Dion Anja:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Dion Anja It wasn't really an idea until it occured to me that I could die in any moment without even making one of my biggest dreams come true. I have always wished to put out a work that I was really proud of, and this pandemic helped me understand my priorities as an artist. Then, it was settled. Whether the book would fail or not, I had to do it to prove that I could do it.
