How do you get inspired to write?

This author (I wish I remembered who) talked about how writing is a daily grind. It's not only an exercise, but an activity that requires repetition--I would compare it to a golf swing. If you sit around waiting for the clouds to part, and that inspiring idea to descend upon you...you'll never accomplish your goals in writing. I don't believe I feel this to be true for everyone, but it certainly applies to me. My novel took about nine months to write (nearly everyday), and by the end of the process, I had ideas for other projects popping into my head left and right. The daily routine itself is the most inspiring source of ideas.(less)
