Goodreads asked Suzanne M. Wolfe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Suzanne M. Wolfe This is a hard one to answer: I keep a writer's journal and jot down things--sometimes very random things like a word or phrase that catches my ear or a name or a quote or almost anything. And I don't do this every day but only when something catches my imagination. I carry the journal with me everywhere I go, just in case. The name for the hero in my Elizabethan series is in my writer's journal.
As far as inspiration for stories and characters: my imagination is like a giant swamp and random things seem to fall into it over the years and then, one day, they pop to the surface and I go "Ummmm. That's interesting. Let me see what I can do with that." This is as close as I can get to answering this great question.
