Goodreads asked Doug Solter:

How do you get inspired to write?

Doug Solter If I waited until I got inspired to write, I would write nothing. You treat writing like a job that you show up everyday for. But it's a job you should love or you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Goodreads asked Doug Solter:

What are you currently working on?

Peter
Peter asked Doug Solter:

Thanks so much Doug and congratulations on your successful transition! I'm in a transition with my creativity as well and it's helpful to hear your story. I'm in this rather strange creative space because I feel like I'm just beginning to truly grasp screenwriting and yet, the industry seems harder than ever to break into. I know it's all dubious and difficult but perhaps novel writing is the best way to go?

Peter
Peter asked Doug Solter:

Hey, Doug. Peter Koslik here. You may remember me from Nichollscribes back in the day. I am continuing to write scripts and placed as a semifinalist again in 2014. I'm curious about your decision to switch to YA literature. Would you mind sharing some of that evolution?
