Goodreads asked J.L. Forrest:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.L. Forrest Usually I get crabby and depressed if I don't write regularly; my psyche is a stick which threatens to beat me if I forget my pen too long.

As Picasso said, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working." I don't *get inspired* to write. I always have my writing implements with me—at least a pen and notebook—and I write. Writing is a practice.
