Goodreads asked John Collings:

How do you get inspired to write?

John Collings If you look at all of the great writers through history, you will see that they all have something in common; they are all interesting people despite the fact that they were also writers. They all had a passion for life and went out and lived it. By doing so they never had a problem being inspired. Writing in its self is fun, but so is life. Every time I walk out my door, I am presented with a thousand stories. I just don't have time to write them all down. This means that there are still 999 stories out there for somebody to write. So get out of your house every once in awhile and enjoy life. The funny thing is the further you get away from home, the better the stories get.
