Goodreads asked Stephen Salaka:

How do you get inspired to write?

Stephen Salaka I've got elephants running around in my head looking for an escape. Writing helps give them an outlet and prevent them from crushing my skull.

I tend to see the absurdity in things, connections people overlook, and wonder what that would be like if what I was perceiving were actually true. Otherwise (like during my 100 days of 100 stories last year), I relied heavily on Reedsy prompts to help me pick topics to write about.
