Goodreads asked Bonnie MacBird:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bonnie MacBird Sometimes the quest for the muse is far from amusing. One thing for sure, I don't wait for inspiration, I just show up at the desk, every morning, and do my word count. Sometimes I feel inspired, sometimes I feel I'm scratching around in the dark, but what my feelings are about the work is unimportant... I don't allow myself to judge. Just show up. Trust that the ideas will come. It is perfectly okay if sometimes they come more quickly and clearly and creatively than others. But showing up consistently and working through fear is the best path for inviting the muse.
