Goodreads asked M.L. Farb:

How do you get inspired to write?

M.L. Farb Dreams. I live with a vivid imagination. I dream in 3-D, technicolor, and occasionally with my eyes open. This is a bane when it comes to nightmares. I will not watch horror movies. This same imagination makes writing easier. I not only see but also experience what I'm writing. Some nights I wake up with whole scenes playing through my head, vivid with setting, dialog, action, and emotion. I scribble furiously in the 2am glow of the kitchen nightlight, then catch more sleep.

Another creative jump-start is talking out story ideas with my husband, children, or my writing friends.

Most of all, books are fuel to my imagination. I read all the time and in many genres.
