A Goodreads user asked Michelle Madow:

Hi Michelle, I would like to know where you get your inspiration for books? I have an idea, but now I don't really know how to move forward. What works for you? Love, Chrissie

Michelle Madow Hi Chrissie! Normally, my inspiration comes from daydreams while I'm walking around. Once I have an idea and decide I want to turn it into a book, I outline the entire plot. My outlines are scene-by-scene, and very detailed. Having a detailed outlines ensures that I never get writers block! :)
