Goodreads asked Colin Ward:

How do you get inspired to write?

Colin Ward Usually it is a combination of strong feelings about real life issues that I want to explore in a fictional world. I'm also inspired a lot by music. At the centre of it, emotions drive me to write: I need to really feel something about what I am writing in order to make me passionate enough to spend a year or so researching it and writing about it. Above all, I seem to want to write about things that require me to learn something new - I love to research, to go on a journey as a writer and take my readers with me.
