Goodreads asked Lourdes Urrea:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lourdes Urrea I get inspiraton from almost anything. People, names, words, animals. Just to give you an example. Where I live is now caterpillar time, these little bugs, crowl their way across avenues and sometimes even roads, they seem to have a destination, they are going somewhere, so, it got me thinking "where are they going? it takes a whole lot not to be runned by a car while crossing the four lane highway", I can easily make a story about it.
