Goodreads asked Lonnie Busch:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lonnie Busch By clearing the clutter from mind and opening to the unconscious.

As a painter and sculptor, I found that following unconscious impulses, and trusting the process, often leads me to amazing and unexpected results.

The same holds true for my writing. I just answered a challenge to write a two-sentence horror story, and thanked the person for posting the task, as the question sparked a cool new idea for a novel! (Sorry, I didn't post the two-sentence story as I felt I needed to keep the idea within until I've written the book!) Keeping stories within as I write is a huge part of my process, and I never share anything about it ahead of time.

Best
Lonnie
