Goodreads asked Shirley Chan:

How do you get inspired to write?

Shirley Chan I think up dialogue in my head to act/work out various scenarios. Usually this is to work through my own day-to-day issues. There are some characters who will not be denied and they speak to me insisting on having their story told.
