Goodreads asked J.L. Nicely:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.L. Nicely My decision to write my novel Unconquered Warrior started out as a personal challenge to myself. I had never imagined myself as an author but certainly a person with a very imaginative mind. I loved to create stories in my head, and the basic premise of a clan of fighting warrior women had been kicking around in my head for years before I began writing the story. I envisioned my stories running like a full-length movie. One day I challenged myself to take the plot from daydreaming to paper.

The journey of writing requires a lot of hard work, focus, and discipline. You have to overcome your self-doubt, face criticism and use feedback to grow as a writer. The day I held the printed copy of my book in my hand was a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
