Goodreads asked Lorraine Cobcroft:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lorraine Cobcroft Sometimes, I just dream a story. I wake up and it's in front of my eyes, as if someone wrote it. and gave it to me to read. But it's just a cloudy vision and I have to run to my office and type as fast as I can to get the important parts down before it disappears. Then I build on it.

Other times, events in my life inspire me to write about the challenges people face and how experiences affect different kinds of people. Or meeting someone and hearing their story might inspire me to write about an imaginary character having a similar experience.
