Goodreads asked Mark O. Purifoy:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mark O. Purifoy Writing, for me, started when I began my first year of 7th grade. I started on an autobiography, writing about events in my life, such as my first day of 7th grade. I'll never forget it. I was so anxious about growing up, and middle school was going to be the start of a new me. So why not write about it?

Since the autobiography, I chose to write fanfiction of my favorite anime, Naruto. I filled the pages of seven composition notebooks with my fanfiction. I was even able to finish the story, and I was so happy with the ending. Not only was I happy about the ending, I was also proud of myself for finishing the story. It's one thing to finish one book, but several is a great accomplishment. From then, I moved on to write other books. I even started writing songs.
