Goodreads asked Peter R. Hall:

How do you get inspired to write?

Peter R. Hall I love writing and my problem is not how to start but how to stop! My brain seems to pick up ideas and store them away for when I need them. For example, I needed an antagonist for my latest book but didn't want a two-dimensional character. Then I remembered a documentary about Henry XIII where it was speculated that his personality changed after a jousting accident which left him unconscious. His actions changed after that injury and he become much darker. That would be perfect for my character. He would start off as a nice guy but become evil after a brain injury. How long would his friends remain loyal him?
