Goodreads asked Paul F. Murray:

How do you get inspired to write?

Paul F. Murray Sometimes I have a clear idea of how to proceed, as in "The Gifts and the Fruits". At other times, I may have only a notion for a couple of key scenes, and I have to build a story out of those key scene ideas, as in "Freedom's Long March". In my Westerns, "Against the Wild Green Range" about a 22-year-old young woman who inherits a troubled cattle ranch in 1873 Wyoming Territory, "West of the Sunset" about a group journeying on the Oregon Trail in 1852 and one young man's quest for the "right" love, his distraction by a femme fatale, and the young lady who keeps trying to get his attention, and "The One Who Loves You", described above, I had a pretty clear idea of how to proceed with the plot.
