Goodreads asked Omni Thenerva:

How do you get inspired to write?

Omni Thenerva By reading, and thinking a lot.
No shortcut to this, I love reading, and my mind is in overdrive constantly, on how, why, what, kind of questions regarding the stories I read.
And sometimes, a little lightbulb goes off, saying: ”back, back, back, that idea, 500 ideas ago, could actually be turned into something”
And I start sketching the outlines, sometimes, I end up with nothing, or with a short-story, or with a proper book, depends on my luck.
