Goodreads asked K.L. Nofziger:

How do you get inspired to write?

K.L. Nofziger Timing. That's it, really. To start a new idea, or continue with a sequel, is a matter of timing. It has to feel right.

For Virago, once I completed it, I set aside working on the sequel to start a new, and entirely separate, project. Like needing a change of scenery, I wanted to work on something more emotionally distant in the sense of POV. Something more contemporary with more humor and smut(t) (if I'm being completely honest) and less high-stakes.

As for writing itself, I don't wait for inspiration to strike to start tapping away at the keys. Nothing would get done or, rather, it would take five times longer to get it done.
