Goodreads asked Kenneth D. Chastain:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kenneth D. Chastain Actually, there was no choice. I was teaching at a "publish or perish" university at which professors were expected to teach their colleagues at other institutions as well as their students in class. However, once I realized that research and writing were basic to learning and to staying abreast of one's field, the requirement became an opportunity and a privilege.
