Goodreads asked Stephanie Ellis:

How do you get inspired to write?

Stephanie Ellis It's as much a physical need to write (as it is with reading) that gets me going. An atmosphere is very much the trigger to my writing, as soon as I sense something 'other' in a place, a sort of haunted feeling, I start to imagine a person in that setting and then the writing just flows.
I feel I don't have to search for inspiration too much - things just swirl around in my head all the time. And reading always triggers ideas.
