Goodreads asked Jan E. Pat:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jan E. Pat Being in a writer's group helps motivate me to write, as well as feedback from my trusted readers and editors.

Stubborness. Self discipline. Desire to get my ideas out into the world.

It's not easy. Phillip Roth said there's nothing so frightening as the empty page.
