Goodreads asked Mike Kimmel:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mike Kimmel I really like to observe. I think I've always been a people watcher, and I'll often watch an interaction or dialogue between people I don't know and then try to imagine taking it to an exaggerated extreme. If you watch something unfold - and then ask "what if ...." or "what next ...." you can really set the wheels to turning in a creative way. In this way, scenes start to unfold for you. Not all of them are usable, but the process can often produce surprising results.
