Goodreads asked Eileen Bell:

How do you get inspired to write?

Eileen Bell Honestly, the inspiration is built into the writing. I try to write every day, and when I'm there, in the story, I (sometimes eventually) feel better and better about being there. Sounds a bit silly, I know -- but what I've learned is, it's important for me to write as often as I can. Every day, if possible. If I drift away and get caught up in other things, I lose the will to write, and then I have to force myself back. (And now I guess I'll answer the writer's block question, because that's what happens to me when I'm away too long...)
