Goodreads asked Richard Stevko:

How do you get inspired to write?

Richard Stevko The Muse is fickle, and subtle. When I experience something that has a metaphoric quality, and don't start composing, she taps the back of my head. Notation leads to composure. That version keeps calling from the files until done.
Non-poetic works begin as annoyances that don't fit my beliefs and keep gnawing until resolution occurs
