Inspiration

I honestly have no idea what inspires me to write. I am not a religious person so I can't say it comes from above. Yet I find words come to me without reason and I write them down. After they are on paper I am amazed that I was able to complete a sentence. I can only say that I am compelled to write and having people give me 5 stars on Amazon gives me all the joy I can handle.
