Debby Dodds
Reading authors that I admire helps motivate me.
Honestly, I never lack for ideas. Usually the inspiration for something keeps pestering me so persistently (in the shower, driving around town, in the middle of the night) that I finally give in and start writing it down. Yes, characters speak to me so I guess I hear voices in my head. "Plot ideas" often start with characters telling me about the situation they're in or problems they have.
