GalaktaKat asked Francesca Zappia:

How do you get the motivation and inspiration to write? Your books are gentle and human and I love them so much. :)

Francesca Zappia Inspiration? — I let myself enjoy things. The things I enjoy I smash together until they resemble a story. Hate to love romance + weird high school mysteries; Creating art + online life; spooky small towns + Scooby-Doo hijinks; nightmares + anime weapons; sea monsters + airships. It really is that simple. I enjoy, I create.

Motivation? — ngl, sometimes I have to sit myself down and dedicate some time to writing even if I don't feel like it. Gotta finish those books somehow when you're stuck in that mid-manuscript slump. But other times I get swept up by that power of creating a thing, and it all gets easier. Those are the times where the creation itself is the motivation. I just enjoy writing about these people, doing their things, living their lives.

I'm glad you enjoy them. ^_^
