Jared Garrett
I think, "Gosh I like to eat. I also like my kids to be healthy. Gee whiz, keeping a roof over our heads is kind of important too."
No, seriously. I write for fame and profit. The fame is less than secondary, but the profit is for real. I write because I love telling stories, I'm good at it, I want to get better at it, and I want it to be my career. My day job has me in the corporate world and I'm not down with doing that for the rest of my life.
How do I get inspired? I remember that waiting for inspiration is for losers. I go find inspiration by sitting down, putting my hands on that keyboard, and getting to work.
