Goodreads asked Jake Jackson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jake Jackson For fiction, walking along the street, looking up at the skies, NASA photos of deep space, archeological finds, the shapes and colours of the flora in our tiny back garden. I paint and play the guitar, somehow the themes all connect.

For non-fiction, it tends to be a commission, so that's not so interesting, but generally I have a desire to create something that works, or adds value, (the how-to music books) something that moves us on either in understanding or shining a light into previously dark places (mythology books).
