Goodreads asked W.R. Watkins:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

W.R. Watkins To be perfectly honest, 'You. Are. Not. Alone.' was not even a speck in my mind seven months ago.

I got the idea to write the anthology, when I read somebody else's poetry book, and I felt that I could produce something of (I hope) resonable quality that I would be proud of for years to come. Through most of the poems in the book, I tell bits and pieces of my life, my story and the emotions that came along with it. I wanted to create an anthology that somebody could relate to, no matter what their situation was, and feel that they weren't alone to go through it, which is something that I felt tremendously.

Of course, as most books go, the finished product was quite different to how I envisioned it originally (let's not even discuss the number of title changes I made!) but I was still writing material for it, waaay after the Kindle version was released! Ultimately however, even if this book is the only one I ever release, I will always proudly point it out to people and let them know that this is my work.
