Goodreads asked S. Lee Benedict:

How do you get inspired to write?

S. Lee Benedict I find a great deal of inspiration in the creative endeavors of others. Other books, movies, television, art. I'm a great lover of story, and I consume it in all its forms. One thing I do is scour the internet for art. I create Pinterest boards full of things that inspire me, separated into boards for each project I'm working on or planning. It's a lot of fun and really helps to create a world in my mind. Also, the act of writing is sometimes inspiring as well. I often find that, while I'm writing, I'm energized to keep going. It's when I'm not writing that I think of excuses and find distractions that keep me from it.
