Goodreads asked Tom Atkinson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tom Atkinson Randomly, usually. I'll just see something or hear something that inspires a story to come to mind and that'll be it. Sometimes there won't even be a stimulus and an idea will come to be spontaneously. When that idea is in my mind, it won't leave until I have put it to paper.
