Goodreads asked S.P. Rowell:

How do you get inspired to write?

S.P. Rowell My inspiration to write started after listening to my Grandfather’s unplanned bedtime stories. Stories conceived as he was telling them. All unwritten and forgotten moments after. I believe my fascination with stories came from him and many years later I would make up on the spot stories for my children and soon found a growing fan club. As I pursued financial, ego-driven ambitions, stories and writing simmered. After having achieved the riches I sought, I entered a period of transformation and made a conscious effort to achieve my life’s purpose and rekindle my childhood goals. Goals that had stayed with me while riding life’s conventional roller coaster.
