Goodreads asked Narendra Mohan Mittal:

How do you get inspired to write?

Narendra Mohan Mittal Remind yourself the REASON why you’re writing
Don’t write, because other people said so.
Don’t write, because you heard it’s a useful skill.
Don’t write, just because you want to say something.

Write, because you genuinely enjoy it.
Write, because you want to earn good money from it.
Write, because you have something to say.

Dreams are often memorable because they are full of the fantastical and the strange. They’re also deeply symbolic and suggest to us courses of action or new ways of seeing things in a roundabout way, using the power of storytelling and creative association. You might not remember dreams often, or you might not find story ideas in your dreams, but daydreaming can provide a similar source of inspiration.
