Goodreads asked James T. Riley:

How do you get inspired to write?

James T. Riley I've had a compulsion to write for as long as I can remember. Not sure if compulsion equals inspiration. Been this way since I was in elementary school. If I'm not writing a story at any given time, I'm likely working on a story in my head. I will usually sit down to write a story when I want to clear it out of my mind. Putting it on paper feels like I'm unloading a mental weight and making room for new things to carry around.
