(Oops. I answered the question, "How *did* you get inspired to write?")
Several factors combined. I had always been a reader, but in fourth grade, my teacher was an author, with a published book. I have no clue what the book was about, but the fact that she was an author struck a chord in me.
The second factor was in a similar time frame, I discovered C. S. Lewis's Narnia Chronicles. Those books intrigued and delighted me in a way that no other book had done before. I wanted to do the same.
