Goodreads asked K.T. Bond:

How do you get inspired to write?

K.T. Bond I'm a walking curious cat. Everything is interesting, whether it's a video clip on TikTok, a gif on Tumblr, music on YouTube, a board on Pinterest, or a scene in a book I'm reading, there's always something to make me sit up and pay attention.

And of course, my own life is not without its inspiring moments, whether good or bad. I live in the sticks -- there are literally a lot of sticks around my house just now, because it's winter and we live in the woods on a dirt road. I'm awed by the beauty of nature during all the seasons, but in winter, when so much of it is bared to the eyes, I get to see and marvel afresh at stuff I'd never see in the summer.

And when life happens, like a death in the family, or a marriage or engagement, I'm there for the inspiration as well. Living is how I find story ideas, and I make note of them all. whether or not they ever make it into a book of mine, at least they're recorded for when I need them.
