Goodreads asked Daniel B. Hunt:

How do you get inspired to write?

Daniel B. Hunt It changes. Sometimes an idea will just hit me and a story will come out. At other times, I might have a scrap of an idea in my files and I will watch, hear, or read something that suggests a full story. Then I get the occasional request. For example, a friend of mine said his daughter was having a rough time and she loves reading. Could I possibly put her into a story to cheer her up? Editors also make requests. "I need an adventure story with space combat". All of these inspire me to work.
