Goodreads asked Mark Gonyea:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mark Gonyea At this moment, my most recent book is Counting on Letters. That idea actually came from wanting to create my own unique font based on a letters numerical place in the alphabet.

The font didn't really work out but I really liked the idea so I made a poster with the work I had already done. Eventually, that poster was the inspiration for a book.

Work is never wasted. You never know, an idea that didn't work might be the perfect fit for your next idea.
