Goodreads asked Angela Parson Myers:

How do you get inspired to write?

Angela Parson Myers Doing research seems to help get me into the mood to continue writing once I have a project started. To get started in the first place seems to require a great deal of rumination. :-) The exception to this was my recently published novelette, The Will to Love. About a year after my mother died, I dreamed her former boyfriend had left me a mansion in his will because he was still in love with her. Of course, I wasn't really ME; I never am in my dreams. I was a young, unmarried woman. And when I met his son, it was like lightning struck. The dogs in the book were part of the dream, too. I don't write romance, so I passed the plot on to my daughter, author Katriena Knights. She didn't do anything with it right away, and about a year later I woke up from a dream in which I had been told the title. I HAD to write the story.
