Goodreads asked Alan Bayles:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alan Bayles I because ill and found myself unable to work. One day I was sitting feeling sorry for myself, when I basically give myself a kick up the backside - that I wasn't going to feel sorry for myself any longer that if I am going to have time on my hands, I might as well do something productive.

So I decided to sit down and write that book I had been putting off for so long. I did a bit of research online on steps to take and watched a couple of videos on YouTube of writers who had made some helpful tutorials.
