Goodreads asked Anna Lynn Miller:

How do you get inspired to write?

Anna Lynn Miller I enjoyed writing as a teenager. Whenever we had a creative writing assignment in school, I was all over it. I typically turned in four to five times the required amount. My teacher encouraged me to write, write, write!

Once I was out of school, I mostly focused on writing poetry, when I had the time to be creative. I have a rare publication of one of my poems. I don't think it was a well-circulated book. It was more of a promotion to get my money instead. At the time, I told myself "at least I'm published!"

Well, it wasn't really published. Especially if nobody reads it. A few years ago, I decided to pick writing up again. I joined a writing group in my small town. I started a book that's still in its construction phase. They told me about NaNoWriMo.

That's when I really took off. I did the NaNo in November of 2014 and barely finished the 50,000 words. I then did Camp NaNo in April 2015 and did the first draft of Construct 11. I worked on it again in July 2015 and once again in Nov 2015. That time, I finished with 138,000 words and had a decent fifth or sixth draft of Part 1, a first draft of Part 2 and a little bit of sketching of Part 3.

That's when the bug bit me. On December 1st of last year, I started the editing process of Part 1. It's been something I do everyday (except most Sundays) for at least two hours. Now, it's become a full time 'hobby'.
