Goodreads asked Robert Enright:

How do you get inspired to write?

Robert Enright Little things.

A small chat with my friend could open up an idea in my mind, then I spend days obsessively building and building it, fleshing it out. I note down little scenes, idea's, potential storyline's.

One of the deaths in One by One was inspired by simply visiting a batting cage. A fight scene was inspired by walking past a fire escape.

It's hard to know where inspiration is drawn from but it's wonderful when it arrives.
