Goodreads asked Phillip Nolte:

How do you get inspired to write?

Phillip Nolte I have been a science fiction fan for ...a lot of years. I remember attending a long string of awful science fiction movies in the 1980's. After one of them, as I exited the theater with my wife and daughter I remember saying, "They hired actors that could act and they had convincing special effects and expensive sets so why didn't they spend a couple thousand more for a decent story?!" I then uttered the fateful words, "Heck, I could write a better story than that!"

It proved to be harder than I thought...
