Goodreads asked Andra Watkins:

How do you get inspired to write?

Andra Watkins I prefer this question as "How do you fill your creative tank?"

Because all creatives need to develop strategies to remain inspired.

I set aside time to yank myself out of my routine. I try a new place to eat or a dish I think I won't like. Or I pick up a book that's in a genre I usually wouldn't read. I wander through museums and take long hikes. I challenge myself with opinions that differ from my own.

Forcing oneself to try new things is one of the best ways to stay inspired.
