Goodreads asked J. Nathan:

How do you get inspired to write?

J. Nathan For me, inspiration comes from so many places. One day it could be a song with lyrics that really speak to me and make me feel emotions that come out of no where.

Another day it could be a moment in a television show or movie that gives me butterflies, reminding me why I’ve loved romance for so long. FYI. Jake Ryan showing up at the end of Sixteen Candles with forever give me butterflies.

Inspiration could also come from a photograph that catches my eye when scrolling social media. It can give me idea for a scene or a happy ending for my characters when I can’t quite get there on my own.

Inspiration tends to come when I least expect it. And, I’m always so thankful when it does because it motivates me. It invigorates me. And it gives me something to work with—especially when I’m dealing with writer’s block.
