Goodreads asked Jonathan Edward Durham:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jonathan Edward Durham This is going to sound patently anti-romantic and unwriterly, but I don't wait for inspiration to hit to write. When I'm working on a book, I write according to the same schedule literally every single day until I'm done. Honestly, I just don't know any other way to do it, but I know that M.O. doesn't work for everybody. Deciding WHICH story to write is about the closest I ever get to following pure inspiration...that's a decision I always find myself stalking for a few months, but when I find it it just feels right...and I have yet to find a way to outwork THAT decision.
