Goodreads asked J.M.J. Williamson:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.M.J. Williamson There are some writers who will tell you to write everyday. I'm not one of them. For me, developing a story is a long process and I need time to think so thinking time is just as important as writing time. I plan as much of the story as I can, but even with all the planning in the world new ideas will pop up during the writing process that need evaluating and building into the process. Editing and re-writing too is something I enjoy. It's seeing the final story emerge that is so satisfying.
