Goodreads asked K. Caffee:

How do you get inspired to write?

K. Caffee Listen to the inner voices talking. Most of the time, I get lucky, and they are talking about what ever story I am working on now. When they are not, I let them mumble on while ignoring them. But, when I am ready to sit down and burn through another set of batteries in the keyboard, I'll review what I have written and then ask the character a question or two.

When I get really, really stuck, and reviewing the last paragraph or five does not spark anything new, I tend to head out and find the friends who were involved in the initial development of what ever character I am writing about today. (Mostly, Nameless - the main character in my debut series.) With a little nudging, and small talk about almost anything, I can usually unlock the door that the character has hidden behind and coax them out for more tormenting... err ... writing practice.
