Goodreads asked Laura L. Walker:

How do you get inspired to write?

Laura L. Walker I am a mother of young children. Unfortunately, I can't simply write uninterrupted in a nice office for hours at a time. (I don't even have an office.) However, I find that my best writing begins to happen about ten minutes or so after I've started writing. I may not know exactly which direction I want my characters to go, but they do! Pretty soon, they take over and it almost feels like I am standing back watching a play unfold. Once, when this happened in Pierced By Love, I deliberated for the next thirty minutes if that was the direction I wanted the story to take. Ultimately, I decided that following this action would eventually yield the same ending while making the journey a little more interesting along the way.
