Fred Herrin
In the case of my novel Tour of Duty 1967 I had memories still vivid after five decades. Then along with considerable research, I was able to work them into an overall story. The story itself I developed over a period of only a few days and remained almost unchanged throughout the writing process. So as to the inspiration, I'd have to say that I gave myself the assignment to put my thoughts and memories on paper in an engaging and entertaining manner.
