Goodreads asked V.P. Rigel:

How do you get inspired to write?

V.P. Rigel Oh, you know lots of things. It could be a picture, a painting, a scene on the street, a movie, music, it is totally random. You never know really when the idea will come to you, or when something will inspire you. It might be a simple dialog at the supermarket or on the bus, or it could be some scientific fact that you read in a local newspaper. But the fact is that inspiration is all around us. Or, you could star at the empty white wall until you get bored and your mind begins to play tricks with you. Like I said, totally random :)
