Goodreads asked P.J. Cruz:

How do you get inspired to write?

P.J. Cruz Music, having a random plot idea pop into my head or watching other author's content.

Music is great for getting in the zone (ranging from epic instrumentals to lofi hip hop).

The random plot ideas are from when I have a bunch of plot ideas going around and I think about how I connect them, or how can I get the reader to think "omg no way". Then, once I make the connection, writing feels so easy and second nature.

Lastly, I get inspired from other authors. I've always liked writing just never took it beyond saving it on my computer. Then I found author content. So when I see indie authors doing it, it inspires me to keep writing so I can also get to that point.
