Goodreads asked Derek A. Chowen:

How do you get inspired to write?

Derek A. Chowen I try to be present. If you do the same, you will not be able to avoid inspiration.

There is infinite material and infinite inspiration if you are in each moment.

Now I practice the pause. I let things sink in more. Nobody needs an instant response or instant input.

Write or record your reactions to a situation and let that captured moment be your inspiration.
