Goodreads asked Anna Stephens:

How do you get inspired to write?

Anna Stephens Some days are harder than others - like today! Sometimes what I might do is draft an action scene, something that's in the wrong place in the plot, but a battle or a chase or a fight gets the creative juices flowing and helps me begin the writing process for the day. Then I'll get back to the plot I'm supposed to be writing and carry on. As for the scene, I copy it into a separate document full of random scenes for use later on. It might be used, it might be discarded, but it's served its purpose in getting me going.
