Goodreads asked L.S. Kilroy:

How do you get inspired to write?

L.S. Kilroy Inspiration comes in different ways. Ideas fall into my head, sparked either by something I've read about or a conversation I've had, or even by an image I've seen. When I get an idea for a story, I usually ruminate on it for a long time before I even start writing. Sometimes I hear a song that evokes something about the story and I attach myself to that song, listening to it over and over while I think about my project. This allows me to imagine scenes unfolding. I also get inspired at certain times of day, and when I do, I always try to make a note about what's just popped into my head or I send myself an email about it so I don't forget.
