Goodreads asked Gary C. Stalcup:

How do you get inspired to write?

Gary C. Stalcup I have no idea really. Something grabs me and won't let go, like influenza. I run this fever until finally it breaks. This writing bug generally starts with a mood and proceeds from there. Before I know it, I'm inside this bubble, living with my characters until the story is told. At that point, it's such a relief to feel well again. I'm cured until the next bout of inspiration.
