A Goodreads user asked Kasie West:

Hi Kasie! What inspires you when writing? You have quite a few books so you must have a lot of inspiration. Do you get inspiration for anything or anyone in particular or do ideas just come to you?

Kasie West Thanks for the question. You know, a lot of things inspire me. But only one thing doesn't inspire me: staring a blank screen trying to force myself to think of an idea. So if I'm out of ideas or stuck, I try to get out of the house, try something new, talk to people, watch movies, read books. All of those things inspire me. But, once I have an idea, I have to sit down and do the work.
