Goodreads asked Barbara Braendlein:

How do you get inspired to write?

Barbara Braendlein I am inspired by ordinary things -- the quiet thrills that exist in our mundane lives, like the way bread rises in a bowl or the way a mother can look at her child after an exhausting day full of diapers and tantrums and still find that child beautiful! If I really want to be driven to write, I read Emily's Quest again, by L.M. Montgomery. It always makes my fingers itch to write!
