Another great question - thank you! I think any writer is inspired to write by a few different things. The first source of inspiration is reading all kinds of writing by others. Exploring a myriad of genres and a large variety of authors is a great way to become inspired. Read things that you think you normally would not like, because you may be pleasantly surprised.
Another way to become inspired to write is to complete some writing projects and share them with others. Once you receive some positive feedback, it builds your self confidence and encourages you to write more.
The last place where authors find inspiration is daily life - the events, the relationships, the failures, the victories, the mundane, the exciting... if you observe the world around you carefully, you will find inspiration just about anywhere.
