Goodreads asked Diane Kelly:

How do you get inspired to write?

Diane Kelly Hmm. I guess I can say my deadlines inspire me. Ha ha! I love to write so much that I don't wait for the "perfect" moment to sit down and do it. I'm fairly disciplined. I'm basically writing any time that I don't have to be doing something else. But as far as where I get inspiration for my stories, it always starts with a character. I'll see or hear about someone doing an unusual job or who has had an unusual experience, and I'll realize I want to explore what it would be like to do that job or have that experience. So I do those things vicariously through my characters.
