Goodreads asked Penelope Przekop:

How do you get inspired to write?

Penelope Przekop Inspired to write is my normal setting. I kept a journal for 15 years before making the commitment to write my first novel at 25. As a kid, I wanted and needed to write, and still do. I’m challenged to uninspire myself so that I can be a responsible person. I’ve had to learn to manage my time. When our kids were growing up, I wrote during my lunch breaks and late at night. There are times when I’m overwhelmed with inspiration, and I write as much as I can down on a napkin, envelope, or old magazine, whatever’s available. It’s a spectacular yet desperate feeling, and I love it.
