Goodreads asked R.M. Archer:

How do you get inspired to write?

R.M. Archer Music helps. The Spotify playlist for the trilogy I'm working on is almost eight hours long, and still growing. Music generally gets me into a mood to write. Sometimes I don't really need "inspiration," though, I'll just sit down and start writing, trying to hit my minimum for the day, and the next thing I know I've written 700 words or more. Not all days are like that, obviously, but discipline is better than inspiration and you're not going to get a book done without at least some measure of discipline.
