Goodreads asked David O'Neill:

How do you get inspired to write?

David O'Neill It just happens of its own accord. Inspiration comes in many forms for me. Mostly, I write because I can see the story in my head unfold, and I just want to write it down to share it.

I also have a writing buddy and we bounce ideas off each other, refining and tweaking as we go along. That really does help. I would suggest joining a writer's circle, too, as they can help provide ideas and suggestions. I go to two, and they have really helped my hone the basic ideas, often providing some inspiration as well.
