Goodreads asked Geetika Saigal:

How do you get inspired to write?

Geetika Saigal To be honest, I don't get inspired to write. I write because I simply have to.

In turn, my writing inspires me.

It reminds me of who I am, and what I want to do with my life. It gives me purpose and brings meaning to my life.

No, it doesn't give me happiness all of the time. On the contrary, it drives me many a time to practically tear my hair out and bang my head against the wall! But hey, at the end of the day, it drives me, fuels me and rewards me with a sense of accomplishment which is not measured by book sales and royalty.

It takes me to places I may never have been to, build people who may be just a figment of my imagination, and share truths of life that I may have experienced over a lifetime, in just a few sentences.

Writing inspires me; I can only hope that reading it will inspire you.
