Goodreads asked Debbie Winnekins Deutsch:

How do you get inspired to write?

Debbie Winnekins Deutsch When I'm in the middle of a book, I reread the previous chapter or two, to get me back inside of the book and get the creative juices flowing. When I start a new book, I make a plan of action. I need to be able to see the general beginning, middle and end before I can get excited about it. Then I flesh it out with details as I move forward. I constantly observe people, I read, and I play the "what if" game. I also bounce ideas off of writing friends. That's huge for me! They are a wealth of knowledge and ideas.
