Goodreads asked K.I. Zachopoulos:

How do you get inspired to write?

K.I. Zachopoulos Ideas are like fishes.
It's like asking a fisherman about his baits.
You can choose the right bait and the right time and place and still catch the wrong fish. Contrarily, with the wrong bait you can catch the right fish. Inspiration hides itself in an ocean of possibilities. I just keep on fishing. Sometimes, even the best looking fish smells good but tastes terribly and other times the foulest of odors hides the most delicate of all tastes.
This is how I get inspired to write.
I try.
I fish high tide and low tide.
I'm eager to call it a day.
Every day, I wake up early and try again.
