Goodreads asked J.D. Fisher:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.D. Fisher One of the greatest inspirations that got me into writing was my brother and I's love for computer games. The game we played so many, many years ago was Everquest. I was never a big fan of fantasy until my brother introduced me to that game. From there I got into watching/reading the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. All of these factors played a big part in inspiring me to write fantasy.

Now, what inspired me to even start writing was when I accomplished something that seemed impossible to me. With a lot of prayer and perseverance, I was able to lose nearly 50 pounds by diet and exercise. When that goal was accomplished, the next impossible goal was to write a book...the goal now is to not just write a book, but a series.
