Goodreads asked Janet Roberts:

How do you get inspired to write?

Janet Roberts Something usually triggers a question or an idea, then I see a character. I start putting the character in different situations and a plot and story start building. All in my head. Then I need to get it down on paper. After that it's more like a very fun archeological dig with more characters and voices rolling up as the plot rolls out in front of me.
