Goodreads asked Jay Sherer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jay Sherer If I'm struggling with something in my own life--emotionally, physically, spiritually--that's often a catalyst. But I also like to see something and then think, "How does that actually work?" And then I setup a cast of characters to explore that topic in more detail.

I also get a lot of inspiration from other storytellers. Creativity breeds creativity because you can look at someone else's work and get inspired to do something as meaningful as they did, but in a completely different way.
