Goodreads asked Marc Schmatjen:

How do you get inspired to write?

Marc Schmatjen You don't. You sit down every day and write, no matter what. I think waiting to be inspired is the reason that so many potential authors are "going to write a book." You can either do it or not. No middle ground. If I had waited around to be inspired before starting any of my past "real" jobs, I'd have been fired a lot!
