Goodreads asked Craig A. Monson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Craig A. Monson For me, it's less inspiration than obsession. Though I retired in 2015, I'm in my university office-in-retirement (formerly the music department choir robe closet) seven days a week, arriving before anybody but the janitor. To introduce a little more "balance" in my life, I'm trying to leave after lunch to do other things, chiefly restoring vintage trailers, from the 1930s to early 1960s. (I guess I'm a bit obsessive about that too, though I've winnowed my collection down to only half-a-dozen. . . . )
