Goodreads asked Virginia Moffatt:

How do you get inspired to write?

Virginia Moffatt I have always loved reading and writing which go hand in hand for me. From an early age I wanted to be a writer, and in my early twenties wrote many short stories and two thirds of a novel. But, I lacked confidence in my writing and life (in the form of work, romance, children) kept getting in the way. Ten years ago, as my forties approached, I realised if I didn't commit to writing, it would never happen. So that's when I made the decision I was going to write come what may.
