Goodreads asked Deborah Copaken:

How do you get inspired to write?

Deborah Copaken I don't wait for inspiration. I get up every day at 5 AM, have my coffee, water my plants, and force myself to sit in front of the blank screen until I words come out. A lot of times they're bad and get erased, but they always lead down some path I hadn't expected. Also? I take breaks. I go on walks. I take long showers. Something always hits me in the shower.
