Goodreads asked Lisa Weldon:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lisa Weldon Funny, but I never dreamed of being a writer. I didn't grow up reading books. But in 2011 when I went to walk NY, I started blogging. Blogging was one of the tools I needed to learn in order to reinvent my career in advertising. So, I walked one neighborhood during the day, then came back to my apartment and did video tutorials on how to write a blog post. A few months later I attended a blogging conference and a literary agent told me I needed to write my story of walking Manhattan. I told her that I wasn't a writer. "I don't even read," I continued. "Then get a ghost writer," she insisted, convincing me that my story needed to be told. A few months later I started to write ...and here I am, then years later, finally publishing it!
