Goodreads asked Mark Beyer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mark Beyer I'm probably more driven to write than inspired to write. Writing is like breathing to me ... I have to do it. Pretty much every day. Many writers I know are the same way. Some call writing an addiction. As to what am I inspired to write about? -- I just want to write stories that will entertain and, hopefully, inspire readers to be better people in whatever sense "better" is as it applies to them. Smarter. More loving. Kinder. More thoughtful. Whatever they know will make them better people.
