Goodreads asked Jim McGinnis:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jim McGinnis Not sure how it happens, really...It seems to be the other way around--writing inspires me. Writing is liberating not merely because it provides me an outlet, but because it opens me up…my emotional and spiritual pores. My senses grow keener. I possess a new awareness of everything around me. ...seeing things as Proust said, ―with new eyes..to write means to choose a particular way to live. (see p.26, Tending to the Past) -JM
