Goodreads asked M.J. Pankey:

How do you get inspired to write?

M.J. Pankey One of my biggest inspirations is music. Especially epic themes like those composed by Hans Zimmer or some of the renditions that 2WEI puts out. Other favorites are Fleurie, Tommie Profitt, and League of Legends. A lot of the scenes I've written and have planned came to me while I was listening to these songs, and I've made a playlist on my youtube of all of them so I can keep them in my head and develop them further when I'm not at the keyboard.
