Goodreads asked David L. Hatton:

How do you get inspired to write?

David L. Hatton I have had poems come to me in dreams, and sometimes even the idea for an essay. My own reading of Scripture, the poetry of others, or a nonfiction work that stimulates a new way of thinking, can inspire a sermon, a poem or my own essay. In fiction-writing, the process of thinking a story through stretches my imagination. But there are times I feel God motivate and works with me on a written message, but that is more an enablement than an inspiration.
