Goodreads asked James Fox:

How do you get inspired to write?

James Fox I've honestly been one of those super creative types that's constantly needing that kind of outlet. I do a little bit of everything - my current obsession is trying to build a blacksmith shop with furnaces and forges, and to make my own *something* - not even sure what yet! Last summer I went on a clay-collecting binge and taught myself how to construct earthen-draft-furnaces. I've always been that person carrying around a book, it's just become a part of my every day life. So, now instead of carrying books around - I carry a little notebook and when I'm doing these crazy things, I scribble notes about story ideas it gives me. Interaction with people also inspires me. Hearing what people have to say about things that have happened in their life that had an impact. It moves me.
