Goodreads asked T.C. Clover:

How do you get inspired to write?

T.C. Clover Good stories are always developing in my mind; however, I don't feel it's wise to put out whatever your brain comes up with on a recurring basis. My stories are always tied to real-world issues that affect the reader. The goal is to create a vehicle that puts the reader into the story and to add characters that make it go forward. So I begin with a strong idea, and then merge that idea with two or three other strong concepts. At that point, I spend six months developing characters and let those characters play within the confines of the circumstances that have been created.
