Goodreads asked Lynda A. Calder:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lynda A. Calder Inspiration, initially, comes from dreams. "The Enigma Diaries" was all due to a small snippet of a dream and then is just grew from there. The "what if" is also a great inspiration - thinking about situations where "What if" this happened. For example, the new YA I am working on was inspired by sitting at my son's many violin lessons looking out a small, round window wondering, "What if that window was the portal to another dimension, another world."
