Goodreads asked R.W. Thompson:

How do you get inspired to write?

R.W. Thompson Generally by the people or events around me. Sometimes someone will make a comment about life and it becomes an idea for a book. An example of this is my granddaughter(age 4) asking me if a mouse has Christmas. This led to the picture book, "Mrs. Mouse's Christmas"!
