Goodreads asked Mary K. Savarese:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mary K. Savarese Thank you for your question. I collect sayings, interesting characters and names, things that have awed me and write them in a little notebook where they wait to come together in a novel. I love quirky titles and that's how I start with a quirky title and those interesting ideas I collected. I begin with a general idea, beginning, an end and develop my characters. I usually only have three chapter outlines at a time as I find once I start writing the story can move in so many different ways than I could have initially imagined. Everything feeds on itself. The joy comes from creativity.
