Goodreads asked Alan Denham:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alan Denham That varies a LOT! Quite often I get an image in my head of the big 'payoff' scene (or one of them). Then I write an outline, then I send it to Graham and he adds characterisation, background, improves the flow, etc . . .
Sometimes Graham and i just toss ideas at each other over a pint (or three)
