Goodreads asked Rob Osler:

How do you get inspired to write?

Rob Osler I read my favorite authors and think, "Gosh, I wish I could do that. At least, I'll try!" Also, whenever I cross paths with someone odd, quirky, or downright strange, I get excited about how I can incorporate something about them into a character. I hope readers would agree that my stories are character driven. Once I have the right characters cast in their roles, I find a story evolves much more easily that were I to focus solely on plot. For me, the characters create the sub-plots as I set them free on the page.
