Goodreads asked Felix Holzapfel:

How do you get inspired to write?

Felix Holzapfel In my old life—running a digital marketing agency—I needed to find new inspiration almost every day:

How to address challenge A?
How to creatively use the latest technology B—often in an environment with
challenge C?
How can I help my colleagues with problem D? And so on.

Usually, everything needed to happen asap. I learned that I could find inspiration pretty much everywhere—often at places or opportunities you wouldn't imagine. That's why I try to explore the world with my eyes wide open, absorbing as much as possible of everything around me—knowing that the next inspiration is only one thought away and can strike any second. Whenever it hits me, so I don’t lose it, I try to write the inspiration down and use it appropriately.
