Goodreads asked L.L. McKinney:

How do you get inspired to write?

L.L. McKinney I have a routine that I follow. Say a prayer, make coffee in a certain cup, turn on a certain playlist, etc. Usually going through those motions lets my brain know it's time to get down to business. Even when I don't feel like writing, my mind is trained by the routine to get it done.

I also like to write away from home. I love writing in bookstores. Something about the atmosphere, the energy, really helps get things going. It helps being in a place where it all comes together. My laptop is where a book starts, the store is where it ends. The circle is complete.
