Goodreads asked C.M. Chang:

How do you get inspired to write?

C.M. Chang Creative people need creative outlets. I found this out the hard way when, a few years back, I experienced a near burnout. I was only doing things for others, never doing anything for myself. I look at it in terms of energy -- I was only giving away energy, but never replenishing my supply. I stumbled upon writing science fiction & fantasy and I have never looked back. I'm a super nerd so other creative outlets include sewing and playing classical piano (my fave composer -- Scriabin.) So for me, writing is not only inspiration, it's about keeping sane.
