Goodreads asked Eileen Workman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Eileen Workman GREAT question! (Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Didn't realize these questions were hanging out here.)

What inspires me to write? That's a pretty easy question for me to answer. The inner realizations that I have all the time serve as the foundational source of my own inspiration. Because I am open to new ideas and heretical propositions, I gather information constantly. And as I painstakingly piece together the brilliant, yet limited, perspectives of countless others across multiple disciplines, something magical happens within me. Suddenly, I "see" a fuller, richer, more holistic image of reality than I was able to see before.

And then I write from that place.
