Goodreads asked K.J. Jackson:

How do you get inspired to write?

K.J. Jackson I don't. I make myself do it. I love plotting in my mind, and will do that all day long. But the gritty of typing words out can be just that, gritty.

So I approach it like I do exercise -- I mentally run through my list of excuses and then just start. And I have never--ever--gotten to the end of working out or writing, and wished I hadn't just spent my time doing it. It never is a waste, and I always feel a ton better after it. Not a flowery, writing is magical answer, but real. :-)
