Goodreads asked Christopher Magnus:

How do you get inspired to write?

Christopher Magnus I was awake on the couch at 2 a.m. with my son (who was 2 years old at the time) and he didn't want to sleep in his bed. He fell asleep and I was wide awake with a sentence that kept repeating in my head. I thought that if I were to write this sentence down it would alleviate the situation that I was experiencing and I would be rid of it. One sentence turned into two, and two turned into twelve. After thirty minutes of writing I had ten paragraphs and what turned out to be the beginning of my first novel.
