Goodreads asked Alexia Swanepoel:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alexia Swanepoel Some writers are very dedicated and literally write every single day. I do not. I will go for days or weeks at a time and write absolutely nothing and then suddenly an idea will form in my head and it is like a stack of dominoes. Before I know it, I have written several poems or a story or two. Usually it is a dream or something truly simple that becomes the platform for a poem. I don't always know myself where it is going to take me. The journey is just as much a surprise for me as a writer as it is for you as a reader.
