Goodreads asked Lorna Howarth:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lorna Howarth Inspiration is a fleeting friend. Sometimes it arrives just as you're settling down for the night and a torrent of ideas means sleep is impossible. Get up, find your notepad and get jotting! Other times, a conversation with a friend sparks the imagination, or a snippet in the news... Even daydreaming and doodling have their place because the brain is disengaged and inspiration has room to manoeuvre. In fact, I'd say the best ideas come when you're not thinking about anything in particular!
