Goodreads asked Michele Sharpe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Michele Sharpe Inspiration often comes to me when I force myself to start writing, or when I plan a writing session in advance. For the past couple of months, I've been experimenting with a daily writing practice for an hour right after I wake up. It's working, and now I wish I'd started this practice earlier!

Images from the natural world often inspire me too, especially for poetry. Sometimes I take photographs of plant and animals that grab my attention, and I go back to them to pull out concrete details.
