Goodreads asked Erin Thornton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Erin Thornton I am an imaginative person, but I am among the writers who treat her characters as living breathing beings. They inspire me from the day they decide I need to write their stories. My mind is full of ideas all the time and new stories come out of the craziest situations. I am also a write what you know writer. My books are FICTION. Let me repeat I am a FICTION writer, but I have an understanding about things happening to my characters in some way. Something about a scenario may have happened to me or I have been exposed to it. I tell my friends and family that if it happens in front of me it might end up in a book. I ask people questions while I'm writing to see how a person will react in a similar situation. That gives my writing a real feel and not a far fetched imagination of a writer perspective.
