Goodreads asked Janet Benton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Janet Benton The challenge for me is not to get inspired to write. By which I mean, everything gives me ideas. But all these ideas create a sense of pressure, of always being terribly behind. And in fact I AM always terribly behind on what I want to write. I hope one day to write full time and comecloser to keeping up. That said, I was at a writers' colony called Hedgebrook for two months a few decades ago, and with more time, I only had more ideas. In other words, I will never be able to keep up--until I'm too old and decrepit to have a lot of ideas!

Not a mother and unfortunately physically unable and was just SO moved by the powerful descriptions in the book. You definitely transformed your love on to paper for me to experience and I so appreciate that! Any idea when your next book will be out?
