Goodreads asked P.D. Haggerty:

How do you get inspired to write?

P.D. Haggerty This is one of the hardest questions. I can't wait to be inspired or I'd get nowhere. I have to sit down and try to force words out onto the page. This results in anywhere from several pages to adding a comma (and then taking it out). I treat writing like one of those tasks that adults have to do, whether they're in the mood or not. But going back and re-reading scenes I did a few days or weeks ago reminds me why it's worth it.
