Goodreads asked Chuck De Los Santos:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chuck De Los Santos When I doubted myself, wondering why I would share details about my past, I thought of my daughter and how this book might provide a brighter future for her, which motivated me.
During the writing process, I would get depressed recalling my memories and how I felt, so I would take walks and listen to music. One song in particular, "I Won't Run" by The Struts, was instrumental in helping me navigate those thoughts and feelings. It invigorated me to keep writing, boosting me out of a depressed state of mind. It was very powerful for me and I would play that song on repeat on some of my walks.
