Goodreads asked Chris Ord:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chris Ord If I am working on a novel the story is always floating around in my head. When I'm out running or walking ideas are always being tossed around. I try different scenarios and plot twists. I never plan or storyboard a book from the start. I begin with a scenario and let the story unfold. I find that more exciting and the inspiration becomes an ongoing process. For me if there was a story planned already that I had to get down onto paper it would feel more like a task than a creative process. Everybody is different though. As a writer you have to find what works best for you.
