Goodreads asked Madison Scott-Clary:

How do you get inspired to write?

Madison Scott-Clary Graphomania.

I'm only partially kidding. When I'm not writing, I honestly feel kind of awful. I -have- to write, there's nothing I can really do about that.

Inspiration is a different matter. For inspiration, I draw almost entirely on my past and my own experiences. That's why so much of my work is about queerness and struggling with identity. When I feel like I have to write but don't have anything to write about, I'll start poking at memories, good and bad, and see if there's anything there that I can leverage in order to build up a story.
