Goodreads asked Alyssa Palombo:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alyssa Palombo I can't really sit around and wait for inspiration to strike - as an author who also has a full-time day job, I have to sit myself down in whatever time I have available and get to work. I definitely do take days off here and there, though, and it's very important to me to take breaks in between projects or in between drafts to a) avoid getting burned out and b) to refill the creative well. Resting and consuming other art is how you're able to stay fresh, inspired, and come up with new ideas.
