My two goats were eating outside one day, and I started to think about their complicated relationship, and from them, I built the main characters for my story.

I am inspired by literally everything. My first unpublished book was inspired by an Antonín Dvorák song and The Problem With Mortals was inspired by my two goats. I guess my point is never limit yourself on what can inspire you.

Trying not to write a sequel to The Problem With Mortals...I have too many ideas from where we left off.
Kat Mitropoulos
Just write for yourself for a while. Don't feel like everything you work on has to be published immediately. Have fun and work out the kinks before the world reads it.

Getting to create something out of nothing.

I don't see it as writer's block, if I do, I'll get discouraged and probably cry. Rather I view it as a moment to take a step back and clear my head, take a walk, and talk it through with my sister if need be. You're 'blocked' for a reason. Something in your story isn't working, and rather than just pushing through, the best thing is to stop and get perspective.
