Goodreads asked Patty Grasher:

How do you get inspired to write?

Patty Grasher Oh, I don't know. Sometimes I just get bored and want to do something. And writing sort of fills that gap.

I am not very good with staying on a schedule with it. More like getting on a roller coaster and just going for the ride.

I remember reading once about an author who (jokingly I hope) said he left a gun by his desk and when he wanted to quit would take the gun out, direct it at his head and say, "Write!" Some days I think I should maybe think about that. . . my problem is I got to be a pretty good shot so I don't know how much actual writing would get done.
