Goodreads asked P.I. Alltraine:

How do you get inspired to write?

P.I. Alltraine When I was younger and they asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I never said ‘writer’. Writing has always been something that I’ve done naturally. I was the editor in chief of the school paper so I edited and wrote news articles, I wrote and performed school plays, I entered poetry writing competitions, I wrote the speeches I delivered in oratorical competitions, declamation, debates, etc. At the time, I thought I was doing so many different things, but looking back, everything that I chose to do involved writing. However, I wrote a novel not necessarily intending to publish it or make a career out of writing. I wrote it because there was a story I needed to tell.
