Goodreads asked Dan Taylor:

How do you get inspired to write?

Dan Taylor Eight hours' sleep helps, and coffee. But seriously, like any writer, I fear sitting at the keyboard and nothing coming, even though I've written four novels. Doubt can be an issue. I usually start by reading the last chapter or so, finding inspiration from a joke I've written or a wisecrack. And then I go from there. I usually make myself laugh two or three times during writing sessions, but the next day the same routine of finding inspiration from yesterday's good bits of writing starts again.
