Goodreads asked Mike Sauve:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mike Sauve When I am working on a novel it's a matter of spending each writing day thinking about that day's content before I actually sit down to write at around 4pm. I do this while walking to work, in the gym, in the steam room and shower, etc. Usually I come up with 5-10 solid points I want to hit, and then I sort of improvise around the melody of those points. Getting inspired on the grander scale, coming up with story or novel ideas, is more of an occult matter, and not really describable.
