Goodreads asked Ian Tadashi Moore:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ian Tadashi Moore While I don't want to promote the notion that ideas come from sparks, I think that's at least partially true. I have woken up with an idea and scribbled it down. But the real magic isn't in that spark — because sparks don't happen all the time — it's when you sit down and just start writing that things begin to happen. They happen for me in short bursts, then I let it go and do something else. But each session carves a little bit more out of each idea until eventually, it all fits together. You have to give yourself time and space to take in ideas, think about them, even sub-consciously, and you also have to just do it.
