Goodreads asked Mario Rivers:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mario Rivers It was an accident really. I had gathered material for it which I explain in the preface of my first book, but I never intended to form it into that book. I was bored and couldn't sleep one night, and wrote an entire set of notes, an outline, and like 9 chapters not even on purpose. Finished it within the next few days and sat on it for almost 2 years researching what I would need to release or self-publish, reading book marketing stuff, setting up all the other stuff I'd need to publish. That one finished manuscript sparked a plethora of ideas in my head that I immediately began writing about. I can't even get it all out of my head as quickly as I'm thinking them up.
