Goodreads asked Jodi Paloni:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jodi Paloni I read. I look around me. I make things with my hands–––collage, sculpture, soup. Mixed media journaling can get me going. Taking walks and taking pictures on my phone, image collecting, helps, too. I think activating some other part of the brain allows me the freedom to let what's going on inside bubble up without the pressure of the blank page or screen. But reading is the strongest way in for me. When I'm stuck, I open a book and within a few pages, I'm ready to put the book down and write.
