Goodreads asked D.D. Adair:

How do you get inspired to write?

D.D. Adair From Donna; I'm constantly "writing" inside my head. Constantly describing what I see, who I meet, things I overhear, feelings, weather, humorous stuff, weird stuff... Basically, I intensely notice life around me in a way that I can re-tell it, or re-frame it, maybe capture a deeper meaning, or just enjoy it a little more.
When I'm doing this, I'm automatically clamoring to write it down. Basically, I don't have to "get inspired to write". I'm desperate to empty out my head. Mostly that "everyday" stuff doesn't make it into the stories but it is amazing practice. It keeps the pump primed, so to speak.
