Goodreads asked Amos Smith:

How do you get inspired to write?

Amos Smith To write well I need to be in a state of "flow." I have tinkered with a number of elements of my schedule that contribute to flow. I have found that two of the biggest factors are daily Centering Prayer meditation (I meditate at least 40 minutes per day) and morning runs every other day (I run 2 to 3 miles each time). I am the most inspired to write when I go on retreat (I take at least two mini-retreats per year for about 8 to 10 total days).
