Goodreads asked Kimberly Nicholas:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kimberly Nicholas I love the advice from Esther Freud: "Don't wait for inspiration. Discipline is the key." It was helpful for me to realize writing is a practice for which my first job is to show up. That said, it's important to cultivate renewal and inspiration from everything else (relationships, time in nature, food, exercise, sleep...) to keep going, and to enjoy the journey!

The Esther Freud quote comes from this article, which has lots of excellent advice:
