Goodreads asked James Sabata:

How do you get inspired to write?

James Sabata I don't believe in "inspired to write" as most define it. For me, ideas are everywhere. Every person, every place, every object has a story. I just people watch and I listen to others. I talk to anyone I can about seemingly unimportant things until something in me starts to ask questions about something I heard. That's my inspiration. The questions. I don't set out to find stories. I set out to learn about others and listen to them. The stories find me while I'm doing that.
