Goodreads asked Heidi McCahan:

How do you get inspired to write?

Heidi McCahan If I don't write, I start to get really grumpy. There's something about the creative process that makes my heart sing. That doesn't mean it is easy, but if I ignore that desire to write for too long, I start to feel frustrated. Also, sitting down with a blank piece of lined paper just makes me want to spill words across it. Since I've had the opportunity to publish more books with Harlequin, I've found that deadlines keep me motivated to write (most of the time). I really do try to regard my writing as a career.
