Goodreads asked Amanda Leigh:

How do you get inspired to write?

Amanda Leigh Honestly, I can find inspiration anywhere. I have a file with probably upwards of 15 ideas for books/stories. Just last night, I got an idea from the name of an X-Files episode. The trilogy that I'm working on now was never supposed to be a trilogy. And it started out because of a one sentence idea and a song that I heard that helped to inspire a big theme and part of the tone of the books. Characters are really important to me, as well. The idea might be the first thing that pops into my mind but then I really focus on the characters.
