Goodreads asked Justin A. Reynolds:

How do you get inspired to write?

Justin A. Reynolds This is a question that I've often contemplated over the years. The answer that's stuck to my own ribs over the years came from a writer that I admire: "I sit down in front of the computer and make myself inspired." Which is to say, inspiration is a tricky animal. Sometimes you wake up feeling it, sometimes it's frustratingly elusive, but for me, I've found that the ritual of sitting in front of the screen, tapping on the keyboard, or better yet scribbling in one of my legal pads, puts me in the best position to conduct inspiration when it eventually strikes.
