Goodreads asked Tath Ray Ashcraft:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tath Ray Ashcraft Strangely enough I think that seeing the pain of life, the missed opportunities, the misunderstood beauty, the slight decisions that ruin happiness... inspire me to write. There is so much unnecessary pain - in everyone's life, that I always feel compelled to understand it better... to ask why and to explore how. Every time I sense that pain, the very pain of just being HUMAN I feel I must write about it to cling to my very soul. I guess its the drive of every human to make "sense" of things. To bring an order or model to the chaos.
And that is easy to find, that inspiration... look around, look within, remember, anticipate, appreciate, love, fear, run, hide... being human feels like inspiration enough most days.
