Goodreads asked Sacha Jones:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sacha Jones Well, like I said, I was late (late forties) to come to creative writing but my previous work (academic) involved a lot of writing, just not creative writing, which I consider my memoir to be, though it is technically non-fiction. I like to say that life itself is the inspiration for a life writer such as I consider myself to be, but beyond that there are always great books, including memoir, and the odd compliment about your writing along the way, which gets a girl to thinking: maybe. But I write a lot of poems for my blog (OWW: One Woman's World) and the inspiration for those comes from anything at all, from the smallest thought -- hey it's cold -- to the most complex -- will I have regrets when I die? Anything can inspire the switched-on muse. So stay switched-on, I say, keep all the senses turned to 'On' and you'll never be short of inspiration.
