Goodreads asked Mary-Linda Steed:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mary-Linda Steed I get inspired to write truthfully from my emotions, I am a very emotional person. It is therapeutic for me, it also helped me to realize I have a voice. I did not know until I started writing that I have my own unique voice. Wow was that an eye opener, I also realize my inside voice can be negative. I learned it must be cast down, it will stop my creative juices from flowing. I understand if I am angry or upset I look at it by what I write, to sort out why am I angry. God has helped me turn those negative emotions around, for some reason, after writing out my angry emotions. It takes a turn for the positive, it is purged from me. Now I can see clearly, and negativity cannot live with me.
