Goodreads asked Robert P. Rowe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Robert P. Rowe I often get inspired to write while reading other books and deciding that I would have told the story differently. Of course, I wouldn't use the same framework, setting or characters. I like making up my own ideas.

Sometimes when I'm reading a book and the plot isn't going the way I'd like it to I simply put the book down and daydream up a new story of my own. Once my mind is clear then I can get back to reading the book.

If the book I'm reading won't give me the escape that I'm looking for I'll make up my own.
