Goodreads asked Simon Northouse:

How do you get inspired to write?

Simon Northouse Usually through some real-life event. I'll listen to a news story, or maybe someone has told me about their life at a BBQ or party and I get that "lightbulb" moment. There's always something to pique my interest and then it's just a case of adding a few "what if's" and running with it. Sometimes it blooms and other times it wilts and dies.
