Goodreads asked Chris Lodwig:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chris Lodwig For me it's generally two people having a conversation, or a specific scene I can see in my mind. Those are the things that get me started. Then I naturally fold in ideas I'm having in the shower, or while listening to books or NPR or Ted Talks, or philosophical ideas I argue about with friends over drinks.
And there are few things I enjoy more than editing and polishing up the work I've already done. It's not inspired so much but it is joyful, and why else would I write if not for the enjoyment of it?
