Goodreads asked Sarah Purdue:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sarah Purdue I have a plan! I've tried waiting for inspiration to strike and find it doesn't very often. Instead I set myself a word count, sometimes modest, and sit down and keep writing until I hit the word count. Sometimes its quick, sometimes it takes ages. I try not to give up before I've hit my target. Sometimes the writing is good, sometimes it needs a lot of work but its a lot easier to edit something you have written badly than to edit a blank page!
