If it's from scratch, I look around the world and see what needs fixing. Sometimes unsung stories or heroes can help fix the world by having their stories shared and becoming known.
If I'm already working on something, finishing it is inspiration enough.
I worship at the Altar of the Crap Draft. Without something on paper or in pixels, it's "just a good idea." But as soon as it's put down somewhere, it can be shared. That means I can share it with trusted advisors, get their input and genius, and even share it with myself six months later and get something close...
That phenomenon turns me on and easily can get me writing. I'm curious perhaps more than anyone else what's in there.
