Goodreads asked Rob Queen:

How do you get inspired to write?

Rob Queen I do things in timed segments. If I don't set aside a time to get something done, it never gets done. But once I set time aside, nothing will keep me from that. While this makes me really bad at spur-of-the-moment activities, it essentially ensures that a whole lot of writing gets done during the times that I set aside for it.
Strangely, my own mortality is its own motivating force. While I don't expect to go anywhere anytime soon, everything has a shelf life, especially our own lives. If you can't do something now, plan a time to make it happen.
