Goodreads asked Josh Griffith:

How do you get inspired to write?

Josh Griffith I've never had a problem coming up with ideas--they can come from anywhere and everywhere. Something in the news. A conversation. A memory. A dream. Even an album I'm listening to. Most of the time it seems like I have this auto track running in my head that keeps asking, "what if? What if?" But though I may get a lot of ideas over the course of a day or a week, most of them will probably end up sucking, haha. The trick for me is to kick it around in my head for as long as I can before I start writing, to see if it sticks with me and I stay excited about it.
