Goodreads asked R. Scott Boyer:

How do you get inspired to write?

R. Scott Boyer This may sound silly, but the main way I get inspired to write is by actually writing. Once I am in the middle of a writing session, I almost always have plenty of ideas that keep me going. In those moments, it's usually only hunger or the need for sleep that trip me up.

The real trick for me is the discipline it takes to initially sit down and focus versus turning on the TV or picking up my phone.

Sometimes a creative television show or movie will inspire me to write. However, to be completely honest, being bored is more likely to drive me over to the computer than a captivating show.
