Goodreads asked D.H. Torkavian:

How do you get inspired to write?

D.H. Torkavian I didn't learn to read until I was 14 years old. I started to grasp what reading was around 11-12, but when I was 14 was when I feel I really could call my self a reader. I didn't really want to start learning to read until after my grandmother passed away when I was 12, and i wanted to learn to read because i wanted to write.
