Goodreads asked Sam Knight:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sam Knight Random things inspire me, but the most common are turns of phrases I hear in songs, commercials, or passing conversations. For some reason these trigger me to start imagining who would say such a thing, or in what situation would anyone say it, when would it be funny (like a one-liner in an 80's action film), and when would it be the most horrific thing you could say to someone. Having all those thoughts race through my mind, competing to be first, after someone says something random, like "hart to hart," or "toe to toe" can be a lot of fun, leading me to laugh out loud at random times, and garnering strange looks from those around me.
