Goodreads asked Matthew Pritchard:

How do you get inspired to write?

Matthew Pritchard I research my subject carefully, using dozens of different sources. When a particular fact catches my eye, I make a note of it, or simply rephrase it as line of dialogue said by a character and then run with other character's responses. Sometimes a single line in a dry, dusty history tome can generate 500 words.
