Goodreads asked Christie Leigh Babirad:

How do you get inspired to write?

Christie Leigh Babirad There are many things that get me inspired to write.

Sometimes it's tv dramas such as Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill-the atmosphere/landscape, and the introspectiveness and emotions of the characters within these shows sometimes have a great way of inspiring stories I want to tell.

Sometimes it's a song or feeling in a book that makes me say- I'd like to bring forth that kind of comfort and feeling in my own way, through my own story.

I get inspired by just being out in the world, observing, and also processing my own experiences. Nature is great inspiration!

Finally, there's nothing like a long drive. Inspiration almost always comes to me on a road trip. There's no other mode of transportation that affects me in the same way. I have to always have something to write with and on nearby.
