Goodreads asked Colette Victor:

How do you get inspired to write?

Colette Victor I've been writing since I was nine. My second grade teacher in South Africa, Miss Damant, had read us 'Charlotte's Web' in class and then challenegd us to write an alternative ending to the book because we were all so up set that Charlotte died. Miss Damant liked my story so much she sent it to the Dundee Chronicle (Dundee, South Africa, that is) where it was published. I was hooked. I knew I was going to be a writer.
