Goodreads asked Mark Eisenzimmer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mark Eisenzimmer I keep an idea log/journal. Everything that crosses my mind (believe me, it's not as often as I'd like it to be), that sounds like a good idea, or even a mediocre idea, I write in my idea log.
Then, I go over the log every so often, and if something jumps out at me, I start playing the what-if game. What if this happens, or this, or this?
