Goodreads asked Jennifer Meinking:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jennifer Meinking Inspiration comes from many places. Music, movies, books I have enjoyed in the past, my own life, my children, my husband, my friends, even my friends' children. I am often surprised by inspiration. I could simply be doing life or listening to a radio show with my kids, then be struck with a plot or character development idea with little to no warning. I like to immerse myself in the world I've created, think like the characters think, research the time period or place that I am writing about, then imagine and let the words flow like paint on canvas, taking shape in ways that surprise even me as the author.
