Goodreads asked Ilene Withers:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ilene Withers I always wanted to write and never got around to it until my daughter was grown. At that time I decided I would never do it if I didn't force myself to write. I decided I would write 300 words a day and I kept to that until I had finished a novel. I now try to write 1000 words a day and have so many plot ideas I wish I had more time than that. I work in customer service so I meet a wide variety of "characters" to give me motivation and inspiration.
