Goodreads asked Benjamin Fortier:

How do you get inspired to write?

Benjamin Fortier Ideas for stories constantly spring into my imagination, but sitting down and writing them doesn't always happen.

Writing can be a challenge some days. Other days the urge to write is equivalent to the urge of scratching an itch. I'm inspired by many, many things, such as other mediums like illustration, painting, or movies. I also find myself inspired by conversations - with strangers or loved ones.

Much like maintaining a fitness routine, you have to challenge yourself to write, whether you're inspired or not.
