Goodreads asked Benjamin Cross:

How do you get inspired to write?

Benjamin Cross There are three main situations that inspire me to write. The first is when I'm reading a really good book and I become so insanely jealous that I didn't write it that I put it down and grab my laptop determined to do better. The second is when I'm out walking/running; for whatever reason the fresh air and the beating of my heart seems to correspond with fresh insights and the beating of ideas inside my head. And the third is... you guessed it... when I'm trying to go to sleep, and the little sheep of inspiration just won't quit flocking around my tired mind as if they've all been on a 24-hour Red Bull session.
