Goodreads asked A.D. Crystal:

How do you get inspired to write?

A.D. Crystal oh, yes. this is another thing which makes writing my LOVE. and this is, unfortunately, something I can give no advice for.

Let me just think and bring my experience.

Well, I was reading this book and one of the characters was in a very challenging situation. Being focused, though, on other themes and characters, the description of the situation and the problem was just skimmed through quickly.

To me, on the other side, it "clicked". So, I took a quick note in my laptop, of what was it that resonated with me, so that I didn't forget later. i have kept coming back and adding other notes to it. And so, it is taking a serious form of a project.

Another time, something happened to a friend of mine and the event reminded me of a topic I have been researching about for quite a long time. I kept notes and ...

This is how it happens for me.

Oh, something else. I find myself to be much more attentive and opened to ideas about future books than other people who have never written something. I am sure this helps, too.
