Goodreads asked Margaret Frisch Klein:

How do you get inspired to write?

Margaret Frisch Klein I am a rabbi. People expect me to get inspired. To be inspired. To inspire others. Inspired comes from the Latin and it has to do with breath and soul. For me in order to be inspired, I have to take a breath. A deep breath. Slow down long enough to be inspired, to feel inspired. I do that best when I am hiking in some beautiful place--up a mountain or along a shore, when I am driving on an open road and have the chance to reflect and think, when I paint (not well) or look at other people's art, or sometimes when I lead davvening (prayer) and let the words wash over me.
