Goodreads asked Mary McDonough:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mary McDonough I am completely inspired by other great writers. Their work challenges me to be better, grow and learn. There are writers I will never write like, but it spurs me on.
I get inspired to write by my own experiences, emotions and the fact that I have felt alone a lot. I have learned how many people feel the same way I do, so it motivates me to continue to share and write my experiences.
