Goodreads asked M. Ocampo McIvor:

How do you get inspired to write?

M. Ocampo McIvor Inspiration could hit me at any moment and any place: while walking, hiking, showering, taking out the garbage, or through conversations with friends and strangers. But the "how" part... I guess it's a matter of being open to receive it, then acting on that inspiration. For me, the inspiration comes easily; it's the execution that needs work. Reminding myself that "Life is short, what have I done to contribute to the good of society?" is a trick that urges me to pick up my pen and get to it.
