Goodreads asked F.R. Larkin:

How do you get inspired to write?

F.R. Larkin If you’re waiting for inspiration, you’re in the wrong field… what’s that old adage about 99% perspiration 1% inspiration. Well I would say whoever said that forgot about the friggin’ aggravation. Which is not to say I don’t enjoy writing, hell I may be my biggest fan sometimes, laughing my ass off at some bullshit I just put on the page, but to get to that stage, you have to actually sit down and grind it out. Of course, I do get inspired, I think of crazy, stupid shit all the time, and much of it is just that, shit. The key is sticking with one of your ideas until the very end, book completion.
