Goodreads asked Tarun Betala:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tarun Betala Generally, reading things and talking to people inspire me to write.

For instance: Earlier, I was reading about how some people prefer art, and others prefer science. It reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend about iPhones vs. Android phones; I remember a conversation on the internet about Marvel vs. DC; I'm always reminded of people who compare one thing to another.

Why compare? Why not enjoy both? You only get one life, and both are equally "real"... Why do we need to compete and have one be better than the other?

And yet, this competitiveness, this comparison does help us grow as a species, makes us unite in some cases...

But, I digress. It is just things that I observe and think about that inspire me to write.
