Goodreads asked Jonathan Mills:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jonathan Mills Ideas can strike at any time - when I'm out for a walk, at work, asleep and dreaming - and like any sensible writer I always keep a notebook handy. The hard part is forming those ideas into a workable story - it never quite looks on the page the way you imagined it in your head, but you have to work with your own limitations, just keep working away at it till it starts to resemble what you originally had in mind. Then work at it some more! You never finish a novel, you just stop writing it.
