Goodreads asked J.D. Simmons:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.D. Simmons It's true that sometimes you have to be in the "mood" to write, but I found that ideas and inspiration would come to me during the times that I least expected. There were many times that I would pull over on the side of the road and make a note on my phone, jot a note at work, or awaken with a thought to write down.
