Goodreads asked Flora Reigada:

How do you get inspired to write?

Flora Reigada Scripture inspires me as does music and a small patch of woods behind my home. But for me, inspiration comes best in solitude. This was in short supply after my husband retired and two grown children moved back home, one with children of her own. I found my much-needed solitude by locking myself in the bathroom for an hour or so each day. There, I would write another chapter, page, paragraph or even sentence of my work. When a friend heard about this, she actually paid a jeweler to craft a special charm just for me--a 14-karat gold toilet brush! I wear it proudly and I still lock myself in the bathroom to write. Thankfully, our family has another bathroom down the hall.
