Goodreads asked David White:

How do you get inspired to write?

David White I just start writing with a headline and then as I write I pull what I have written apart and add headlines and then the order appears which I can expand upon. Sometimes I can't write at all, in which case I just look to write out bullet points. Either way, I look for a subject where I think it may be possible to find at least 8 chapters, so if I can see a few I start to think of ways I might invent a few obvious ones, and then as I write it out I discover the need for other chapters. It is all about providing information that answers a specific question.
