Goodreads asked Holly Michael:

How do you get inspired to write?

Holly Michael Basically, pray. Ask this inspiration to come from the Great Source of Inspiration, for me, the Holy Spirit. My journey into writing is one that began with a prayer when I went for a walk and told God I was quitting writing unless it was His Divine plan for me to continue and if that was the case, that He show me very clearly because I was done with writing. Too many rejections. A waste of my time. After my prayer, I returned home to discover my answering machine had a message from a major magazine editor who wanted to publish something I'd wrote. I took that as God's answer and at that time committed my writing to Him. I've been led through many twists and turns with my career since. Journalist, hired to create a magazine by a major corporation, reporter, features writer, and then into fiction. Always the inspiration comes from God.
