The best inspiration is to imagine holding a published copy of my next novel in my hand.
Honestly, other than that, if I waited for inspiration, I'd find every excuse to do the laundry instead. What really inspires me is to get started. Once I'm at the keyboard -- even if I've forced myself to be there, even if I feel like have no words in my brain -- once I sit down and start picking apart something I previously wrote, then the inspiration takes over.
