Goodreads asked A. Jordan Booth:

How do you get inspired to write?

A. Jordan Booth I've been making up stories since in was in grade school. I have so many ideas, my ambition often outstrips my ability, especially writing part time. The big challenge is finding a way to channel my thoughts. I had a teacher who said that when you write you have to "kill your darlings". Not every thing I think is amazing is any good at all. The key is to set a goal and give myself time to to work towards it. Give all ideas a bit of consideration and their moment to be written. That's the only way to know if you'll need to kill the darling or not.
