Goodreads asked Timothy D. Wise:

How do you get inspired to write?

Timothy D. Wise I don't usually have a problem coming up with story ideas. Sitting down to write and working out the plot issues can be more challenging though. When I already have a project started, I often get myself in the writing groove by going through and editing my work from the last session and then stretching out from there. Sometimes I'll write ideas down on paper with a pen or pencil to get going. These could be whole paragraphs or color and image words. Reading authors I like or watching favorite shows helps to prime me but sometimes the effect is delayed. After I watched Stranger Things on Netflix last year, I suddenly found myself charged with new writing energy a week or so later.
