Goodreads asked Marjorie Vernelle:

How do you get inspired to write?

Marjorie Vernelle When I lived in France (two different times but most recently eight years in Avignon), I became a "café writer" in the great tradition of the lost generation and in fact many French writers as well. It starts with journals in which I keep all sorts of rambling thoughts, from which emerge characters and situations. Sometimes the words begin to flow when I listen to music, as they did when I began Beautiful Imperfections. You will note that the opening page has a central character playing the piano. I guess you take your inspiration as it comes.
