Goodreads asked Giles Watson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Giles Watson By observing the natural world, and by researching history and folklore. Sometimes, looking out of a window on a rainy day is enough, if two birds are playing in a puddle. The rhythm of walking is itself inspiring; poems sometimes form themselves in my mind whilst I am striding out.
