Everybody's got an orgin story--that glorious day you decided to be a writer, or you first got the idea for what was going to be the best book ever.
For me, the inspiration came from different places. I first got the idea from a song I heard on the radio while doing summer school, and later got inspiration for setting from the beautiful scenery I came across while my family traveled. The inspiration behind all of my main characters came from different parts of me and the people I knew. The main supporting character in the book I'm currently writing, Alexander, has a messy, curly bush of black hair just like my younger brother.
