Goodreads asked Howard Linskey:

How do you get inspired to write?

Howard Linskey Generally, I feel the need to write, though sometimes I put it off and can become distracted. I find many authors are like this. On a good day, we love writing and on a bad one we would rather clean the house than do it. What inspires me most is the thought of a reader buying my book and I want to make sure they are never disappointed with it. That spurs me on to make it as good a book as possible. Deadlines are pretty inspiring too. They inspire a combination of fear and motivation. I've never missed one and I don't want to start now.
