Goodreads asked L. Kris Gowen:

How do you get inspired to write?

L. Kris Gowen I am inspired to write when I see or experience something that makes me think. I enjoy being challenged by my day-to-day life, and if something lingers in my brain for a while, it won't go away until I write about it!

I am also motivated to write when a particular cause makes the news and is misrepresented. As a researcher, it bothers me when media outlets over simplify findings to create a sensational, but inaccurate, story about the lives and experiences of youth and young adults. I long for accuracy in reporting so that we create a much less fearful, but more accurate, depiction of this generation.
