Goodreads asked Alex Alexander:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alex Alexander First, I have a bunch of racket balls with numbers corresponding to words. Which ever one my dog brings me, becomes a story. I originally intended Icarus to be a Renaissance period, coming of age romance novel. Unfortunately my dog brought, space ship, androgynous alien, flying space whale thing, and long-term instability of fractional economics. I'm trying to write the sequel with: amusement park, monkey, and socialized health care paradigm.

Second, I read, a lot. I average a novel a week and usually have 3 going at one time. Besides that I have notebooks full of the notes and snippets of stories for the universe I have been creating for years.
