Goodreads asked Linda Marie Pankow:

How do you get inspired to write?

Linda Marie Pankow My biggest inspiration to write is my life. I take things that happen, or have happened to me and I put them in a book. Then I take things that I dream about happening to me, and I put those in a book too. Sometimes I'm inspired by a title, or the name of some random bar. Sometimes my inspiration comes from a deep and moving real life event.

Inspiration really is everywhere, just let it come, don't fight it or say it's stupid, write it out, if it still sounds stupid to you after you do, get a second opinion, you never know who will love it.
