Goodreads asked Brian J.W. Lee:

How do you get inspired to write?

Brian J.W. Lee It comes to me automatically. When I look around me, I see stories everywhere. In my mind, everything has a fantastic story behind it, from the mundane to less common things.

I ask questions. What if this or that happens? How would it happen? Then I throw some people in it, and some of them are based on people I know - in various stages of relationship with me from enemies to close friends and family. I let it pan out that way.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm just as much discovering stories like an archaeologist as I am fleshing them out.
