For the month of November, All the Blog’s a Page (AtBaP) is talking about INSPIRATION! We want to know what inspires writers to put pen to paper or fingers to keys and spin the stories they tell. This week, we’ll be doing a two-parter with an author who is infused with the love of words and the desire to express them, Anjuelle Floyd!

When asked What inspires you to write, Floyd began by responding, “Conflict that results from life’s dilemmas and problems, both mine, and the ones with which I witness others struggle. On a deeper level I seek to answer the perennial question, ‘Why? Why did she do this? Why did he do that?’ These questions usually center on why an individual acted in a manner that left another person or persons feeling hurt. Why would person A say that to Person B when Person B is crying, doubling over with pain, their eyes full of tears, their hands shaking. And these are not instances where Person B has acted in a way to deserve the response they are getting. In short, my stories seek to answer the question Why does Person A hurt Person B, whom other characters in story and you the reader can see is, while not a person, has done nothing for Person A to treat them this way. Since my stories involve families and center on family conflicts, they see to answer the question, why did she treat her family member that way? I’m particularly taken with why parents treat their children as they do. Yet the focus of my stories usually begins with a conflict affecting and/or separating spouses.”
