Goodreads asked Ronald C. Wendling:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ronald C. Wendling I walk almost every morning, weather permitting. I try to walk mindfully--that is, focusing on the sights and sounds that are there because they will never return in just that form again. So I try to absorb myself in the moment, except that the thoughts that inevitably come while I'm trying to do that are often about what I am writing or planning to write soon. Those thoughts hardly ever come out on the page in the form they took in my mind, but it's in those thoughts that my writing almost always begins.
