Goodreads asked John Joseph Teressi:

How do you get inspired to write?

John Joseph Teressi I identify with the energy of the project. I feel the momentum of the events in the story and work with the characters and plotline to create a dynamic, energetic flow to engage the reader emotionally and intellectually with suspense, humor and surprising conclusions.

I always carry a notebook with me and keep it by my bed. I write down ideas and possible scenes or dialogue when they come to mind. I allow the characters to talk to me and experience the story through their eyes.
