Goodreads asked Teresa Edgerton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Teresa Edgerton When I have a story that I feel it's impossible not to write, that I feel absolutely compelled to share with others. That happened more often when I was younger, in my thirties, forties, and fifties. And there are a million ways that the plots and characters for such stories some into my mind. A chance made comment in a conversation. Something I pick up in my research. "What if" questions that come up when reading other people's books. A walk in the park. Dreams. Being given a theme to write about, like the stories I've done for anthologies, and the stories I've submitted to the writing challenges at sffchronicles.com.
