Goodreads asked Annette Kassis:

How do you get inspired to write?

Annette Kassis This isn't a very glamorous answer, but for me it's more about keeping to a schedule than about being inspired to write in the moment. Because I also have a full-time job (the day job everyone tells you to keep!) I have to write at those points in my day when I've set aside writing time. I can't afford to lose a Saturday, for example, because I don't feel inspired. If I'm having a tough day writing (and it does happen), then I try to use that time to do something else like edit parts of the draft I've already written or sort through research material for a particular time period. I find that just doing SOMETHING on the project helps me get out of a low spot and keep moving.
