Goodreads asked Pete Aldin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Pete Aldin Inspiration isn't a problem for me. It's stitching together various inspirations into a coherent story.

Inspiration comes from eavesdropping on that loud guy's mobile phone conversation, or the complaints that lady is making in the queue ahead of me, or from a headline, or a report on new medical research...or from just daydreaming and wondering "What if...?"

And more often that not, inspiration comes from the things that strike me as beautiful in the world and the things that strike me as evil. And there's plenty of both.
