Goodreads asked Nic Compton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Nic Compton I get ideas for books all the time - sometimes from reading articles, sometimes from other books, sometimes just by wandering around or going for a row on the river. I usually have at least half a dozen book ideas in my head, and it's just a matter of seeing which one develops into a fully-fledged proposal. If they make it that far, they're usually good enough to get the thumbs up from a publisher.
