Goodreads asked Christopher L. Hedges:

How do you get inspired to write?

Christopher L. Hedges I wasn't inspired to write. I started writing because I had too much time on my hands. After a while writing became a catharsis exercise for me. After I had several thousand words on paper I let another published author look at it, and he encouraged me to turn it into a manuscript.
