Goodreads asked Mae Winn:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mae Winn I'm honestly not sure. I think that a lot of ideas happen to seek me out, rather than me 'getting inspired.' Ideas do tend to find me more when I'm frustrated, or bored, or anxious, so letting these ideas find me is probably some kind of coping mechanism that I developed early on -?- I'm determined to make my own fun... and I'm a ball of stress. It is a combination that welcomes any stray ideas with open arms.
