Inspiration is nice, but a lot of it is just doing the work. I do wake up with a great idea sometimes, or read a news story and think, wow, I could do something with that. And I love thinking through ideas when I walk. In the end, though, I just sit down and write. Every day, whether it's any good or not. You really don't know what you have until it gets out of your head onto the page (screen!) and start working with it.
