Goodreads asked Sandra Fitzgerald:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sandra Fitzgerald With this book and my first manuscript - which i hope to have ready to go by next year - I couldn't sleep at night. Don't judge (just yet :)) I had images running through my head like a movie reel and couldn't get them to stop. So I'd toss and turn and drive my husband nuts. It got to the point where Husband said "Will you just write it all down already so i can get some sleep. Please."
I wrote for three months flat out. Got the idea for Maggie's 5 during this time, so i kept on writing. Then read it- decided it wasn't bad but not pretty either and started re-writing. Gave it to a few friends, very kind family members, and the very Lovely Heather in my writing group, got some feedback, it didn't suck or crush me and . . . Tadah. Here we are.
