Goodreads asked James Hider:

How do you get inspired to write?

James Hider I read a lot: novels, history books and popular science books (not smart enough to deal with hardcore, undigested science), in particular about evolution and psychology. Also I have a weird obsession with bugs, particularly ants. I read lots of magazine articles about a huge variety of things, many of them posted by friends with similar interests on social media. I see my mind as a sort of Large Hadron Collider, and bombard it constantly with strange particles, then wait to see what comes out of the explosion
