Goodreads asked Meredith Marple:

How do you get inspired to write?

Meredith Marple Sometimes I’m inspired by an emotional reaction to something, whether it made me laugh or feel sad. That’s especially true if it has reminded me of something in my own history. Sometimes I’m inspired by a believe-it-or-not situation in the news—you know, like reading about someone driving off in their car, forgetting their baby’s in a carrier they absentmindedly placed on the roof to free their hands. That’s always a story crying for attention. Not that I’ve written that one.
