Goodreads asked Emma Wong:

How do you get inspired to write?

Emma Wong I think its very difficult to develop the first draft of any piece of writing - whether for work or for a novel. So I don't have a great answer to how you get inspired to write the first draft. I think everyone is different. My best advice is to write "something". Anything. An outline. A paragraph. Anything. Then put it away and come back to it later. Don't feel like the different pieces have to necessarily relate to one another. Just write. Don't feel like all your ideas have to make sense on the first go. Just take what's in your head and put it on paper.
