Goodreads asked Lea Darragh:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lea Darragh I'm fortunate enough to be part of a fabulous writer's group. I highly, highly recommend finding one in your area. If there isn't one, create one. No one gets you like other writers. Your excitement. Your highs! Or your low, low moods when everything turns to shit, and it will, otherwise you're not doing it right. You need them to lure you off the ledge, to help talk out plotting ideas. They'll tell you when you your hero isn't doing it for them. They're brilliant for hashing out that meaty climax so you get the biggest reader impact. Other writers are the oil in the wheels that keep me going...and if all else fails, join Pinterest.
