Goodreads asked James Todd Lewis:

How do you get inspired to write?

James Todd Lewis
Honestly, I make sure I take some breaks, shift into the other aspects of writing like editing or researching or even advertising. It gives your mind a break, allows it to work out where things are going next in the story, and allows you to have those moments of inspiration that can add color and depth and surprise and wonder into what you're working on...

My rule is I do something affiliated with my writing every day, but I write only when the ideas and the passion are there.
