Goodreads asked Kathy Cunningham:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kathy Cunningham Everything I've ever written feels autobiographical in some sense, even though I never mean it to be that way. Someone once told me (a very long time ago) to "write what you know." And I guess that's what I do. My characters seem to grow and develop on their own, as I'm writing. And that's what happens with the stories, too -- I always have an idea of where I want things to end up, but the getting there is a process that seems somehow separate from me. I don't really understand it. But I know it's true, and I trust in it. That's my inspiration.
