Goodreads asked Debra Bailey:

How do you get inspired to write?

Debra Bailey There are the usual sorts of suggestions like write every day, have a schedule and never deviate, etc. But I think there is no one size fits all. You have to do what works for you. For me, I feel like I "have to write" about something, and even if I don't start right away, it's there in my thoughts, my subconscious, my dreams. It gives me no peace until I write. So for me, it is not so much firing me up to write, as something demands in me that it wants to be spoken and I must write, and finally do.
