Goodreads asked Lewis Ben Smith:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lewis Ben Smith I usually pour a drink (Diet Dr. Pepper is my poison of choice) and then sit down and read the last chapter I completed. As I relive the story up to that point, a hole in the keyboard opens up, and I crawl through and emerge on the Isle of Capri, or in Israel, or in the ancient Parthian city of Ecbatana, or in Rome - and there I join my story in progress and record what I see.
