Goodreads asked Tara Ellis:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tara Ellis My imagination is always running...I can't seem to turn it off. When I'm working on an outline, I have notebooks, sticky notes and note pads scattered around so that I can jot my ideas down before I forget them. (I have short-term memory issues) I have found though, that whenever I need to work through a scene, or come up with some ideas, I think best when I go for a long walk by myself (we live in a beautiful area), or...this may sound funny, but I get my most incredible thoughts when in the shower. I think it's because I'm so isolated and there aren't any distractions. :)
