Goodreads asked Samuel Muggington:

How do you get inspired to write?

Samuel Muggington Sometimes I listen to music while I write. For example, while I was writing Pomroy's World I used Spotify to go through almost every song by the Dandy Warhols. Their song entitled "Sleep" used to put me into a writing trance.

A cup of tea or a mug of strong coffee also helps me to get started. I do need to have the television off and it helps to be alone. My favorite spot to write allows me to look out at our beautiful park.

Once I get into writing mode the ideas just come. I also get some good ideas in the shower when I have a thorny problem with a plot.
