Goodreads asked Russell Wilks:

How do you get inspired to write?

Russell Wilks I'm lucky enough that I don't need inspiration to write on a daily basis. It seems to be my natural state.

I will say though, that in fiction terms I get 'inspired' by stories that tend to fall through the mainstream cracks, microhistory and the like. I like to explore the emotions of the characters as much as the story itself. What do they feel and why?

With my output of factual books, newsletters, emailers and info products I'm basically documenting my ongoing formulation of ideas as to how blue collar/ working class folks, like me, can overcome their limitations and achieve true wealth through a change of behaviours, attitudes, actions and ideas.
