Goodreads asked Valerie Miller:

How do you get inspired to write?

Valerie Miller I find inspiration all around me, in my every day life.

It doesn't stare at me every morning like my cup of coffee does... maybe that is part of why I love my coffee so much!

Instead, I find it waiting for me to discover it in the little things. I find it hiding in the morning sunrise that is so beautiful it takes my breath away. I find it raining down on me in the shower as I mentally prepare myself for the day. I find it in the mesmerizing mushroom that sprouted up out of nowhere and was certainly not there on my walk the day before.

Inspiration comes in many different shapes and sizes. The more open we are to the world, the easier it is to be found. Remember to not just think, but also step outside your box often. You might just be amazed at all the little things you may see.
