Goodreads asked Alexandra Clair:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alexandra Clair I've learned that I don't have to be in the mood to write. I'm not waiting for a bolt of lightening. I get to know the characters and they pretty much drive the story. At heart I'm a bit of a recluse and for me writing will coalesce research with discernment and discernment with outcome. I also pray. I ask God to give me insight; to keep it real. King Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun. I believe this is true. History confirms this and so I think of writing as a conduit; a way for a voice not my own to be heard.
