Getting a job.
Goodreads wants me to craft a longer answer. But if you're interested in writing, refer to my answer above.

From another book. Why make something new when you can steal something way cooler?

Like Nike: just do it.
Writing is only practice. So is inspiration and creativity. If you don't flex those muscles, you don't build them.

You like money?
Don't. Next!

Terrible question. But I'll answer it anyway.
You get to explore whatever's in your head. And when you get to be really good, and especially curious, you get to explore tons of things about the world around you.
Everyone has that curiosity, but few pursue it.

I had a deeply beautiful one crafted, pretty heartbreaking.
Forgot it. *shrugmoji*

This is the wrong answer, but the castle in Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading. There's always some new place to explore, you go nowhere, and it's incredibly boring.
I suppose the perfect place to withdraw and write?

Oh dear god, I hardly read. My profile states I hardly read, and that's honestly true.
The last book I read was Omon Ra. I didn't really enjoy some of the author's decisions.
The last book I "read" (ie, read vicariously) was Confessions of a Convenience Store Clerk. Something like that, the Japanese one. I legit guessed the ending. Girl loves convenience story, girl breaks up with convenience store; and you know how it is, girls always come crawling back...
So I made it a habit not to read. Sigh

Huh. That's a cool question.
There are tons of mysteries in life. Big ones, small ones, and any one of those you unravel I think is worth getting to understand better, even if it's a mote of dust in the grand universe.
I write my books based exactly on mystery, too! Something I want to explore. When the idea pops into my head, I write it, so I don't tend to have many current mysteries on my radar.
But, currently, I'm writing a post-apocalyptic samurai western revenge tale.
