Goodreads asked Amy Kaybach:

How do you get inspired to write?

Amy Kaybach I get inspired in different ways. Sometimes just letting myself daydream will do it. Or reading a really good book will inspire me. Or watching a movie. Or just people watching or even eavesdropping (this drives my friend nuts because I can't help myself and if we are out eating somewhere or shopping somewhere I'll end up wrapped up in someone else's conversation).

I like to paint, but I don't paint well...but I got into painting rocks and leaving them throughout my neighborhood during covid because I was stuck working from home and needed an excuse to get the heck out of my house but sometimes that will inspire me too. Doing this taught me that just because I think it's not very good doesn't mean someone else doesn't think it's precious...so it inspires me too.

Getting out of the house or out of my comfort zone also inspires me. It just depends on my mood.
