Goodreads asked Marie Kammerer Franke:

How do you get inspired to write?

Marie Kammerer Franke Inspiration for me comes down to more of a motivator. For the Charming Nightmare series I would sit down late at night after the entire house was asleep, put in ear buds, and turn up Muse. They were more or less my "muse" (if you haven't heard of them I think a YouTube moment is needed). Their music turned the direction of a certain character's development, and while their albums played on shuffle I could see the plot, conversation, and places clearly allowing me to 'mindlessly' write. You can do some pretty creative and amazing things when you don't over think.
