Goodreads asked Karin Bishop:

How do you get inspired to write?

Karin Bishop Not inspired as much as driven! I've always been writing; but this is probably more about topics/subjects/plots. The ideas come from everyday reading, watching, listening. Maybe a news article on brain research; perhaps a conversation overheard in line at the supermarket. I note it on my iPhone or record a voice memo.

I have a backlog of ideas; sometimes I'll write a page or two outline or sample dialogue.

If my current project gets stagnant or I'm in a cul-de-sac (never a dead end!) I might browse through my folder of ideas, looking for something to nudge me forward.

But the day-to-day writing? I look forward to it, each day!
