Goodreads asked Lesley Kara:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lesley Kara Lots of different things inspire me: conversations I've overhead; things I've watched on TV; books I've read; places I've visited; things on the news. Sometimes it might be a tiny little incident that occurs - something I see or hear - that resonates with me for some reason, and to which my mind keeps returning. That's when I know an idea has legs - when it won't let me go. But one thing is for sure: I don't wait for inspiration before starting to write. If I did that, I'd probably only write a few times a year. Sitting down every day and forcing myself to write even when I'm not particularly in the mood for it is what brings results.
