Goodreads asked J. Collette Smith:

How do you get inspired to write?

J. Collette Smith Usually characters come to me first and then a story starts building around them. Who they are, where they live, what's going on in the world around them, tend to be the thoughts circling in my mind before I'm compelled to start writing down notes.
