Goodreads asked River Ford:

How do you get inspired to write?

River Ford So many things inspire my stories. Sometimes it's a song. Sometimes it's a story or show that is unsatisfactory, so I have to write it in a way that makes me feel better. Other times, it's snippets of conversation I overhear as I go about my life, or things that happen to the people I know. Real life is always crazier than what I can come up with on my own. In the end, I want real-life emotions and struggles to resonate in my books.
