Goodreads asked N.S. Cooke:

How do you get inspired to write?

N.S. Cooke Inspiration is all personal experience, amongst which there are things that I feel strongly about: politics of the day, inequalities, ‘emotional stuff’. These then inspire plot or characters. Then the detail is added during draft after draft. Lots of little written notes to me and entries on my mobile phone scrapbook, so I don’t forget; ideas and lines that just pop out of thin air during the day or through interaction with others.
