Goodreads asked Stephen Strutt:

How do you get inspired to write?

Stephen Strutt That is a very good question! How do I get inspired to write? I take a visit to our local hills cycling, or climb the mountain if I have the time. Or if I don't have much time, I study a beautiful sunset, for example. All of these things inspire me to write.
The truth is, I have written many more articles than books, so far! However, as one famous preacher put it; "first of all I get full of my subject, until I am practically bursting, and then I start spouting it off". Once I am inspired, I feel that I could write about a hundred topics! Everyone has an opinion, and it is wonderful that we are all different, and see things from a slightly different angle most of the time. I like to encourage other people one way or the other to express themselves more, by putting their thoughts on paper regularly as it is very rewarding and satisfying!
