Nix explains that the inspiration for his novel came from his life experiences rather than external references. He acknowledges the influence of subconscious memories but focuses on personal narrative.
Discussing the title of his book, Nix mentions, "I actually don't know where I first heard the phrase; it was something that was floating in the aether." This reflects his creative process rooted in abstraction.
While many associate his work with Dungeons & Dragons, Nix notes he differs in influence, stating, "I'm not a huge Simpsons watcher...but I have lived the 'kids on bikes' life that inspired [the era's movies]."
Nix concludes by noting the coincidental timing with D&D's 50th anniversary, yet asserts his work stems primarily from his life rather than those familiar pop culture connections.
