L. James Rice
Ah, semantics.
I don't need inspiration to write, just some glue to stick my butt to the chair. Now, if asking what gets me excited to write, it's the "set piece" scenes. The big moments that the dramas been building toward. The big reveal. The big twist. Typing those words that will make the reader realize that an innocuous nothing from Chapter One pays off in Chapter Fourty-four... or maybe they won't catch that until Book Two, LOL.
In Eve of Snows, writing the end was knock out, but the best was the moment where my editor and readers noted versions of: "holy $#!@". Goosebumps writing it, goosebumps waiting for reader reactions. Writing the reveal can be sweeter than anything, and that drives me.
The ending to the trilogy could, should, will be so beautiful. It inspires me, no doubt. Impact.
