Goodreads asked Robert Hobkirk:

How do you get inspired to write?

Robert Hobkirk Everyday there seems to be something happening around me - usually the actions of others, or a memory - that will be the inspiration for a poem or short story. Sometimes the short story will be the inspiration for a novel. This happened with "A Sure Thing" from Blind Date; "A Sure Thing" became a novel, Tommy's Exodus, which will be out early in 2016.

Writing seems to be it's own inspiration. The more I do it on a regular daily basis, the more the inspiration.
