I've limited my simultaneous projects so I can finish Saints of the Void a little faster. At this point, I'm doing some final edits for Northwater (Saints of the Void, Book 1.5), and also working on Orphans (Saints of the Void, Book 2) (that title might change, though...).
I'm also doing a behind-the-scenes podcast thingie called Click For Spoiler for Soundcloud and later YouTube, with the focus being Blurred Weaponry to start. Like I said, my focus is on Saints of the Void and will be for some time.

I don't really get inspired, I just am. All day, every day. I think about it, dream about it, plan for it. There's frankly too many ideas for me to work on at any given time and I have to pick and choose.
As far as how I get going while I have a project, I try to ramp my brain up by enjoying some art made by someone else, usually anime, a video game that's heavily story / character based, or a book.

It's basically a bunch of nonsense, so the ideas came from too many different places. To start, I wanted to think about social contracts, how society keeps moving forward and innovating, and what happens when control of that is taken away. Then I kept doing things differently than I'd done before for the challenge, and it ended up as the idea that it is now. See: nonsense.
