Goodreads asked S. Lynn Scott:

How do you get inspired to write?

S. Lynn Scott Usually it is a question that starts my creative ball rolling. For instance, what would Shakespeare think of modern life if he were to materialise in the 21st century? Or, if a family has turned to crime would a substantial windfall prove to be redemptive, or not? Add to that inspiration from newspaper stories (the outrage over the discovery that a local S & M group were using the village hall for regular activities that included tea and cakes) or just the people you see on the bus or train. You don't have to look far to find a humorous situation, or a tragic one that you can use as the foundation for something bigger.
