Goodreads asked Hemanth Kumar Bathala:

How do you get inspired to write?

Hemanth Kumar Bathala I don't wait for inspiration to strike me! I just begin to write.

Because waiting for inspiration is like waiting for the lightning to strike you. It rarely happens.

But I do get ideas from society and surroundings - things happening in my surroundings. If you call it inspiration I'm okay for it.

But I always want to write a great book. That itself is an inspiration to me – that I writing the next blockbuster. You may call it self-inspiration.

So, The fact that I am writing a/the next great book is inspiration to me. And I’m happy with that.

Or you might say all the books I read (Which you find on Goodreads.com in my account) have been inspiration to me for they invoked an urge in me to write better books than them with due respect to them.

Writing a good book had always been an inspiration and guidance to me.
