Goodreads asked Caroline Greyling:

How do you get inspired to write?

Caroline Greyling 1. Read, read, read! There are so many authors who have written amazing books against all odds, through illness, with kids hanging onto their legs and at all hours of the night after their full-time jobs. I get inspired to greatness by their achievements. If they can, I can!
2. Inspiration comes from within. This is my firm belief. If you're waiting for inspiration from someone or something outside of yourself, it may never arrive, so I keep my own internal inspiration-well filled and the bucket always handy.
3. A curious mind. Inspiration and imagination is always about asking 'what if', letting your mind wander and dream.
4. Life. Every day I see amazing sights and hear words of wisdom. Life is full to brimming with inspiration if you just look with new eyes at the wonderful world we live in.
