Goodreads asked Wayne Smallman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Wayne Smallman A lot of the ideas I have come from fragments (conversations I have, or overhear, things I read, or see) that self-assemble in my mind.

I read a lot of science literature, which is a boundless source of inspiration.

But I also find inspiration in dreams, too. Lucidity, for example, which is a novella I wrote a while ago, came to me almost complete as a dream.
