Goodreads asked David C. Russell:

How do you get inspired to write?

David C. Russell Hello,

Inspiration to write comes from personal desire to do so. Beyond that it can be from a personal dream while sleeping, song lyric, snippet of conversation, or good old writing prompts. I also use the Word Of The Day from either Collins, Merriam Webster, or Cambridge dictionary for story ideas. If I feel blocked or stymied, I wait for the condition to pass and don't sweat it most times.
