Goodreads asked Russell Ricard:

How do you get inspired to write?

Russell Ricard My daily life’s experiences in New York City—and I love to walk: oh the characters and situations I meet. Also, always, always my husband and cat both inspire me--my muses.

As well, any and all storytelling inspires me to write: reading books across genres, watching TV, movies, the theater, listening to music.

And journaling about my characters (or at least always taking notes about them and/or situations). And I write…just tell myself to write something, anything on the page. And when I say write, I mean literally: I’m one of those writer’s who needs to put pencil to paper—and then I can type it out. But I always return to my pencil and paper.
