Goodreads asked Wen Spencer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Wen Spencer ideas are like bunnies. The more you use them, the more they breed. There comes a point where you can't move without tripping over a plot bunny. Usually when I'm running at max level of creativity, a whole different story will suddenly appear as if by magic. I usually can't even trace the origin. Sometimes it was just a lingering impression from a dream. Sometimes its reading something or seeing a movie and think "oh but the author missed a huge opportunity by not developing that sub-plot." Recently it was a page of story I wrote after a BEING HUMAN marathon of a werewolf waking up wounded in a coffin with a vampire friend. I read over the page and wondered "But how did these two people end up close enough friends that this could happen?"
