Inspiration comes to me usually as I'm trying to fall asleep at midnight, and I have to jot down the idea in my phone notes so I don't forget :)
Sadly, I don't get to write when inspiration hits me in normal life. It's actually the opposite - I have to tell my brain this is the time to get inspired to write - and it's based on when I can carve out a few hours based on the kids and my work schedules. I think that probably goes for a lot of authors juggling 100 things. When I have the blessed 2 hours dedicated to writing, I just start to write. And because I enjoy writing, writing itself inspires me. And when it actually starts to flow and make sense, then true inspiration takes over.
