Goodreads asked Brian L. Tucker:

How do you get inspired to write?

Brian L. Tucker Reading new & old fiction plays a large part in my writing inspiration. For example, I'm re-reading "Moby Dick" this week, and even though it's not as modern as a lot of other texts, the writing is so vivid still. Melville can write entire chapters about whale anatomy and I'm still interested in the overall quest and its outcome. It's motivating to me to see someone accomplish such beautiful language in a single body of work. I also find inspiration from music, trips, and occasionally a film not based on a movie.
