Goodreads asked Patrick Robbins:

How do you get inspired to write?

Patrick Robbins I like a quote of Somerset Maugham's: "I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp.” Point being, you don't wait for inspiration to strike - you go to work and meet it. And it never happens before I write. Only during. I have to write if I want to write, if that makes sense.
