Goodreads asked Cynthia A. Robinson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Cynthia A. Robinson Everything inspires me. My house is littered with Post-it stations so things can get scribbled down before they disappear from my over-cluttered brain. The task then is to wade through the millions of ideas and toss the meh ones and hope to find a pearl or two...! At the core of most things I write, whether stories or novels, is something--often something very tiny--from my own past (or even present), but once I begin to fictionalize it, it very quickly takes on a life of its own, far beyond mine.
