Goodreads asked James H. Peterson III:

How do you get inspired to write?

James H. Peterson III Paul Griner, author of the novels The German Woman and Second Life once gave me an important bit of advise. "If you want to write a particular type of fiction, read everything of that type that you can. Pay attention to those works you did not like and figure out why you didn't like them. " Stephen King said it slightly differently when he wrote "If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write."
