Huh, this should be thrilling.

Give me your best shot, people.

What inspires you to write?

I knew someone's going to ask about this eventually. Well, for starters, narration (and consequently writing) is a natural thing for humans. We all tell stories, every day, every time we talk to others. But I suppose it will be fair to say that I have a talent for storytelling. There's hardly anything else I enjoy more than tell someone about the things I saw in life or simply about something I read the other day; I don't even care much if anyone likes it, it's the process of it!
Writing comes very naturally to me, I am kinda dumbfounded why didn't I start sooner. Or maybe I did. I had a tendency to be increasingly elaborate whenever someone asked me a question in a chat since I was 12 at least. I suppose I have been writing for a while, simply not in a way you suggest.

Artistic inspiration though, now that's a whole entire list.
First, I have personal experience. Not being born in a first-world country tends to give you a lot of different experiences in life. The general rule thumb goes like this: the shittier your luck is, the more things you'll see in life.
But it's not all ugly, those things that are not are some of the most inspiring things I have ever seen in my life. Have one example: Hospitalised Patients. Now, medical care in my country isn't exactly a pleasant experience, it's really bad actually, I won't go into details this time, for this is unnecessary. The important part is how the people react to it. You don't have the money to buy yourself a meal while babysitting your grandfather with head trauma? Well, other patients will help you! You don't have a clean syringe? Your fellow on the next bed has got your back! You need help restraining your old man while you change his diapers? No problem at all, that big guy from the second room is always there for you!
They can be absolutely anyone outside of the hospital, but whenever inside they are all friends. You ever could imagine seeing a gangster with gunshot wounds, who's been literally talking to a drug courier on the phone a minute ago, feeding some old lady from a spoon while talking to her like he's her grandson? Well, I did see that with my damn eyes and I gotta tell you that things like this are what you will WANT to write about.

Generally, I get inspired by people. People are so amazing without even knowing it. That's what makes the work worth the struggle.
