Two things inspire me to write.
1. Being so engrossed in a project that I'm just in it all the time so I don't actually need to get inspired at all to sit down to write. My characters pull me to my desk. It helps if I have a specific task in mine, like 'explore ways you could make things tougher for this character' or 'take another run at the story's ending'.
2. Keeping so busy with other things that I get frustrated to NOT be writing. When I actually have a few hours when I CAN get to my writing, I'm eager to get down to it.
(Sorry, dear reader, for having somehow overlooked this question for so long.)
