Goodreads asked Em Brooks:

How do you get inspired to write?

Em Brooks I'm usually most inspired when I am doing a mundane task, like the dishes or folding the laundry. As a mother, I don't get a lot of quiet time where I can let my brain wander or lock myself in the "I am an Author, let me WRITE!" World of silence or Zero distractions. But as I'm doing those chores, I'm looking out the window, watching the world go by, and my brain begins it's "What if..." scenarios. If I get one that puzzles me or inspires a plot, I'll pause to write it down and then I'm off writing again.
