Goodreads asked Leslie Garland:

How do you get inspired to write?

Leslie Garland This is a difficult one. It is one thing to have an idea, another to turn it into a story and yet another to get down to the nitty-gritty of the actual writing. This last part is for me the hardest bit - the getting of one's ideas down on to paper - well, on to the hard drive, but you know what I mean! - and I confess there are days when I am not the least bit interested. But as to what inspires me? I suppose it is the desire to see one's idea created, see it become real?
