Goodreads asked Jess D. Astra:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jess D. Astra Typically I tell myself it's time to write and then listen to a lot of music that has the same atmosphere and story to tell as the one I'm diving into. If that doesn't get me started, I'll take a long walk, or a drive (still with music) and start rambling out loud about possibilities.
I always have a large backlog of stories with moderately fleshed out premises, so when I'm wanting something to write, I just review those. Almost all of the stories in the backlog have come from dreams, or "what-if" daydreams. My subconscious is the creative one ^_^
