Goodreads asked Libbi Duncan:

How do you get inspired to write?

Libbi Duncan I get new ideas for my current work-in-progress and for future stories all the time. I try and write them down or put a note in my phone when it happens. Inspiration flows from everything I see, hear, smell, read, watch, or dream. I try to keep my input varied and extensive. I read from different genres, watch all types of movies, play video games, look up pictures on Pinterest or Reddit, and write down my weird dreams. I listen to beautiful soundtracks, classical music, post-rock, or electronic music when writing.

Inspiration is all around us. It's not something you create on your own, but something you just have to notice. You take the things you notice and synthesize it all in your mind, and that's where you create a unique story that no one else can tell.
