Goodreads asked J.E. Thompson:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.E. Thompson Sometimes I close my eyes and listen to my characters, then write what they say/do. Sometimes I just start to write, anything including, "I have nothing to write about." But I keep at it until real writing begins to gel in my head, then I'm on my way for that writing period. The next day it starts all over. I won't mention the banging my head on the desk or tossing paper wads into the trash can or pacing because nothing is coming to me after working for half an hour to come up with what to write.
