Goodreads asked Nathan Smith Jones:

How do you get inspired to write?

Nathan Smith Jones I've always said, "If you wait until you're inspired to write, you'll never get anything done. Inspiration comes by DOING. Write when you're NOT INSPIRED IN THE LEAST. That's how one becomes inspired."

(...though it is nice to write when you ARE inspired. However, a writer who wants to get anything done CANNOT wait for that to show up.)
