Goodreads asked Lisa Aldridge:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lisa Aldridge Inspiration can be coaxed, but not forced, so sometimes it comes at strange times. In the shower, when you think you're alone, suddenly a character sneaks up on you and tells you all about the next scene. At the stoplight, when a great idea pops into my head I have to write it down and the person behind me starts honking because the light turned green. But when I write, I am surrounded by good music, 72% dark chocolate, and Dasani water or Perrier with lime. Sometimes I run one of my favorite movies in the background. I pray and/or meditate before I start writing.
