Goodreads asked B. Furtado:

How do you get inspired to write?

B. Furtado I run. I find that running unwraps this superpower in which I do not have to systematically consider tasks or decisions. I just run. And when I run, about 2 miles in (really, usually at about the same spot) things, answers, titles, catching results just come to my mind. It might be a fishing e-mail I'd never thought about, a new project, or just a scene which just feels right. I pull up my phone in mid-stride and record it for later. The recording sounds like a gasping, stammered sentence. The novelty, however, is right there.
