Goodreads asked H.S. Chandler:

How do you get inspired to write?

H.S. Chandler I read a lot, but less in my own genre than anything else. It's hard to get inspired iff you only ever read one type. of book. I watch tons of good. TV and movies, I love. music, I travel a lot and my recent move to live in the US has given me loads of new inspiration. Change is always inspiring. I also obsessively read the news. I find that politics and the personalities involved is a good indicator for the best and worst of mankind, and for conflicts both small and large scale, and I draw on these issues a lot in my writing. People watching helps. I sometimes write in cafes, and always end up getting ideas for characters from the people around me.
