Goodreads asked M.A. Richter:

How do you get inspired to write?

M.A. Richter When I was in high school, I had a marvelous English professor who insisted that we write *something* in a journal every day. I began with free-form poetry, then moveed on to an SF novel, which was, admittedly, crap. Since then, I've learned a lot from critique groups, other writers, and most recently my editor. My latest inspiration came when I met and had a chance to chat with Joe Straczynski at the 2014 LosCon. He encouraged me to finish my writing and publish.
