Goodreads asked Robert Reid:

How do you get inspired to write?

Robert Reid Well I suppose I have always been writing - too often related to business plans and company strategy. Poetry in my 20s changed to song writing later and maybe a novel was the natural progression. I think inspiration comes from having a story you feel is worth telling and then being brave enough to write it. Let family and friends check it out but make sure they critique the work rather than praise something that is not good enough out of politeness. Bottom line I guess is if you have a story to tell then you don't need inspiration you just need to get on and write it.
