Goodreads asked Jim Riva:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jim Riva I just keep thinking about how to get from A to B – while taking a shower, exercising, eating dinner, or whatever – and sooner or later, an idea will come to me. But I don’t just want any idea of how to get from A to B; I want the best possible idea of how to get there. When that happens, or seems to happen, it can be very exciting. Unfortunately, the excitement doesn't last long because then there’s the matter of getting from B to C, and so on.
