Goodreads asked Susanne Jaffe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Susanne Jaffe Early on, writing was like acting for me (I wanted to be an actress once upon a time!): it gave me the opportunity to express myself through someone else words even if those words and that character were created by me. Writing allows a person to make up worlds and then inhabit them with a variety of people in a variety of situations--all of which are part of the author's own desires, experiences, likes, dislikes; in other words, writing gives you permission to explore yourself safely!
