Goodreads asked Richard Godwin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Richard Godwin Life, other writers, Art, the great Artists, and writers, music, overheard conversations in pubs and restaurants, echoing galleries, dreams, ideas merging like snowflakes merging in an ice storm thawed by a rising sun, shopping malls, women, the newspapers, media, architecture, sport, travel, history, movies, all the things you see. As Tom Waits sings, 'I've seen it all through the yellow windows of the evening train.'
