Goodreads asked Dale E. Funk:

How do you get inspired to write?

Dale E. Funk I decide on characters, then write scenes of their childhood, sometimes before creating the story line. Sometimes I model them after people I know and dream about how they would react in different scenarios. This seems to inspire plots in a book.
