Goodreads asked E. David Hopkins:

How do you get inspired to write?

E. David Hopkins Hard to say really. Inspiration is not something I search for as an author. An idea enters my head from my life or my surroundings, and if it's a particularly intriguing, inspiring idea, a story plot accumulates in my head, followed by characters, setting, and detail. I often find that, as I am writing, I write in new details that I originally didn't have in mind when I started, which makes writing all the more fun.
