Goodreads asked Maurice M. Hebert:

How do you get inspired to write?

Maurice M. Hebert Typically inspiration will come while dealing with life situations. In many instances song lyrics I have written will come out of a time of extreme grief or joy. In those times the need to express emotion and inspiration come together. My creative outlet of expression is writing. It may be a verse to a song or a short story or a reflection on deep religious themes. Other times of inspiration will come after quite contemplation, bible study or prayer. Many mornings I will wake with ideas, words, rhymes and thoughts swirling around my brain and I usually make the effort to rise and write everything down before dawn, when they get swallowed up by the events of a new day.
