Goodreads asked Claire Whitmore:

How do you get inspired to write?

Claire Whitmore I'm a dreamer, so inspiration seems to always be there for me. Don't get me wrong, I get writers block with the best of them, but when I'm not focused on a task that takes all of my concentration, I have my head in the clouds and stories just seem to exist for me.

If I really want to buckle down and get some good writing done, I will plan a day where I know I will have the house to myself, make sure I have NOTHING on my to do list, grab a warm cup of coffee, open the window next to my desk and put on some music, quietly, that speaks to the moments I'm writing.
