Goodreads asked Inés Franklin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Inés Franklin At 42 years old, I was just starting my journey of faith with Jesus. In one of my prayer times, I sensed him calling me to teach and write. It was a strange thought to me, as English is my second language and I never felt that writing was my strength. I still don't. But, after a year of praying and trying to discern if I heard God or if I just had a random thought, the idea did not go away, it just got louder. So, I started reading about writing and learning all I could about the Bible and God. Here I am, now 18 years later and I am finally publishing my first book. It was an act of obedience and hard to do. I threw away thousands of words. Thousands! Cried a lot. Now, I pray it will bless others. You're never too old, too broken, or too inadequate for God.
