Goodreads asked William E. Simpson:

How do you get inspired to write?

William E. Simpson For me, inspiration stems from interactions with the world around me... things like piloting a ship through a storm on a dark night at sea, or hiking into a wilderness area... and the unexpected happening that may occur... I find that the right music is important in the creative writing process... it helps me to transcend into the story.
