Goodreads asked Danie Markgraaff:

How do you get inspired to write?

Danie Markgraaff I suppose that it is mostly people who inspire people to write. Each human being is unique and responds uniquely to their environment. The worlds and the environments we live in, and the variety of the circumstance and situations becomes the props and backgrounds. We cannot change peoples behavior, but we can change the props and then make our people respond to what happens to and around them. The results will be their story, coloured through the writer's framework of reference making each story unique. This challenge inspires me and stirs me with each talented person I meet, observe or read about. Incredibly inspiring.
