Goodreads asked Victoria Corva:

How do you get inspired to write?

Victoria Corva I read, I watch, I play. I consume fiction in all its myriad forms, and somewhere along the way I discover something that resonates with me. Something I feel I would change, or an emotion, or just the sheer desire to MAKE. Only story can really do that to me.

Knowing WHAT to write is usually a more amorphous process. If I consume enough fiction then I have the desire to write and am full of stories, and if I've been engaging with non-fiction then I likely have new facts and concepts I could try to spin into a new world.

But the key is always always story.
