Goodreads asked Timothy Best:

How do you get inspired to write?

Timothy Best As a child of the 60s & 70s, the artists of the day inspired me. Songwriters like James Taylor and Joni Mitchell, for example, wrote wonderful lyrics, wonderful stories, even without their music. And really, the inspiration's never stopped since then. I draw inspiration from every new book I read, even the bad ones, because it helps teach me what not to do. The same is true with screenplays, songs, plays, even paintings can inspire me.
