Goodreads asked E.M. Ervin:

How do you get inspired to write?

E.M. Ervin I always loved to play make-believe when I was a child. I would watch shows and long to be in that world. I would pretend I was a character, going on those same adventures.

When I started really reading, that set my mind on fire. All new worlds were opened up to me, and I reveled in. About this time, I started writing. I look back, and yeah, it was awful, but I loved it.

My grandfather was the biggest factor in keeping this going. He was a journalist out in California as I was growing up. He started buying me books, and we would talk on the phone every week. he'd encourage my creativity, my writing.
