Goodreads asked J.D. Toepfer:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.D. Toepfer Inspiration usually starts with a single unsettling idea, a place, a moment, or a question that won’t let go. From there, consistency matters more than motivation. Most of the work happens quietly, in the evenings, showing up even when the momentum isn’t obvious.
