Goodreads asked Spencer Steeves:

How do you get inspired to write?

Spencer Steeves For me, this answer is very simple: read. Writing a novel or short story can be an arduous process(I have books that have been in the works for years now, and are still only halfway finished) but I find that when I am given the chance to read, my creativity sparks, and my writing improves tenfold. Read as many different stories from as many different authors as you can. Read books that are of lower quality too, so that you can dissect what they did wrong, and try not to replicate their mistakes.
For the great door that is writing, reading is the key.
