Goodreads asked Barry Bowe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Barry Bowe I wake up inspired - sometimes in the middle of the night because my mind's been working while I'm sleeping. Someone told me long ago that if I needed external stimulation to become "inspired" to write, then writing was a hobby and not a profession. Fortunately for myself, I grew up before computers and video games. We had to use our imagination to amuse ourselves.
