Goodreads asked Glenn Maynard:

How do you get inspired to write?

Glenn Maynard I am usually inspired to write because I want to see where the story takes me. That's how my 5000 words per week quota is beneficial. I know I have to reach my quota and I always do, usually writing 1,000 words five days per week. When I hit the 1,000 mark, i'm usually not done with a scene, so when I pick it up the next day I know where I left off and I have a jump start on where I want to go next. It's more difficult when you complete a scene in one sitting and leave off there. Knowing where to begin is ready-made inspiration.
