Goodreads asked Seth Giolle:

How do you get inspired to write?

Seth Giolle It depends. Sometimes, a story will just pop into my head, and I develop it while at work or walking to the bus. By the time I'm back at the apartment, the story has characters, a plot, and ending. Other times, I start with a picture of a mountain and start problem-solving out what might make a story of a mountain interesting. I come up with different ideas before finally going with the best one. It can also be someone suggesting one idea - which inspires a different one or a more advanced form of the first. Maybe it's the sight of a small pewter figurine or a broken toy that starts an idea growing!
