Goodreads asked Jonathan Stanley:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jonathan Stanley I don't know if my approach to writing is unique, but it's all about setting clear goals for each writing session and chapter. I committed to writing daily, even when inspiration didn't show up. To stay consistent, I carved out a dedicated space where writing became a daily habit in my home. The process was far from perfect. Some days, the words flowed effortlessly, but many pages—and even whole chapters—never made it into the final book. And that's okay. I learned that the real key was letting go of perfection and embracing the messy, unpredictable journey of creativity. The best ideas eventually surfaced in that process of trial, error, and persistence.
