Goodreads asked Kate Monro:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kate Monro I think it is curiosity that inspires almost anyone to write. The need to answer questions. For me, writing is the physical result of curiously. I enjoy exploring the disparities between the world we think we live in - and the world we actually live in.

Social media is a great example. It can feel like such a tyranny but it has also made us far more accountable - whether as humans, consumers or as brands - and more collaborative. The digital world is constantly throwing up opportunities to trust, connect and co-create with total strangers whether via Airbnb, Uber, Borrow My Doggy and guess what? People are actually mostly ok. The world is almost certainly safer and more benign than we perceive it to be, despite the barrage of terrible news.

At least this is what is possessing me today. Ask me tomorrow and it will be something different.
