Goodreads asked W.S. Ishida:

How do you get inspired to write?

W.S. Ishida Life. Travel. Saying yes to every opportunity presented, as it leads to experiencing new aspects of life and a great variety of things that are all important in filling up the inspiration tanks.

Also, people watching, being observant and interested in even the smallest things or interactions. Being a magpie, collecting shiny bits of information, being a squirrel in storing them away for the future.

Allowing myself to get lost in daydreams. Speaking to people, everyone has at least one funny, one sad, one unbelievable annecdote.
