Goodreads asked Jennifer D. Lyle:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jennifer D. Lyle I treat it more like a job than a hobby or as art production, I guess is the best way to answer that. There are plenty of times when I'm NOT inspired to write, but I have to do it anyway. The kindest thing I do for myself is outline, and leave myself copious notes about what could be, so when I'm stuck, I have some ideas to work from.

When I'm first starting a project, I like to do a Pinterest board about the characters and locations to set a vibe. For this last project, I was able to use AI (Midjourney) to create my own images, which was SO cool.
