Goodreads asked Peter E. Upton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Peter E. Upton Once the initial enthusiasm for this book had been lit, finding the inspiration was not a problem. When I wrote this book I felt spiritually inspired the whole time as though I was sitting in meditation. As I wrote I would be reliving the moments I was writing about. Sometimes this would leave me in tears while at other moments I would be smiling at a happy memory but always the feeling of meditation remained.
Finding the time was the problem not the inspiration. With a full time job, a family, an old house that needed repair and a garden to maintain there was not a lot of spare time and often on days off from work I would wake up at 4.a.m. and instantly feel the inspiration to do three or four hours of writing before the family woke up.
