Goodreads asked Cynthia Bond:

How do you get inspired to write?

Cynthia Bond I love to read poetry, especially when I'm feeling stuck. I also love to sit on my back porch and look at the rose bush, the two apple trees as I drink my coffee. My kid is growing an herb garden, and the scent of the mint...of honeysuckle...All of those things fill me and inspire me.

Sometimes, however, three strong cups of coffee in the morning, and a Hershey bar as a mid-morning snack do the trick!
