Goodreads asked John Charles:

How do you get inspired to write?

John Charles I would say that all or most of my books and blog posts come from real life. Each of my books has a real life connection. I read quite a lot of information articles. Some are just simple items, others are much more complex. Those tidbits of information lead to further research. My books come from those seeds.

I keep a "Book Ideas" journal in which I write the ideas I have for new books - whether silly, hot, crazy, or just plain dull. I detail all of those thoughts and let them germinate.
