Aliea Kamara asked Lisa Jackson:

Lisa, how did you start writing? Where did your motivation and creativity came from? I'm now approaching 70 and still want to write. Something I've always dreamt to do, but find it hard based on time, motivation and stability in one place. I love your style, though I've never completed any of your books.

Lisa Jackson Thanks for writing. I started thirty years ago. My motivation came from the wolf being at my door. I needed a job. I find inspiration everywhere in real life, on television and in the news. I just wonder “What if . . . “ My suggestion is you just sit down and write. And keep at it. If you wait for the perfect time, I doubt it will happen. Make writing 2 hours a day a priority. Good luck!
