Goodreads asked David Lee Crites:

How do you get inspired to write?

David Lee Crites It's just there. I have been driven to write for decades. Part of my "outgrowing" my dyslexia and Asperger's involved reading a lot of texts (and computer journals), reading a lot of leadership books, reading my favorite authors -- and trying to mimic them. I was in my early 50's when things finally "clicked," and I could actually sit down and read as well as "normal folks." And my "normal folks," I mean the folks who actually read for pleasure.

Writing was one of the ways I learned to read and express myself. Now I do it because it is a wonderfully pleasurable thing to do. I am not actually "inspired to write," but writing is what inspires me.
