Goodreads asked Kathy Porter:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kathy Porter I find just placing my fingers on my keyboard begins the mental process of writing. I have discovered one thing that works for me as far as stimulating my imagination is leaving off writing in the middle of a paragraph or even leaving a sentence unfinished. When I read where I left off with a hanging sentence I immediately get a great sensation of progress from completing the last thought I was writing. Then my fingers begin to fly across my board as the ideas flow through them. That sense of instant accomplishment kick starts my imagination.

I also like to have a glass of wine handy and play opera music very loudly sometimes, especially during intense and emotional scenes.

I love writing!
