Goodreads asked Eve O. Schaub:

How do you get inspired to write?

Eve O. Schaub Two ways: one is that I sit down in front of my computer screen and start typing. I do this pretty much every day- I try to keep my writing time sacrosanct, whether I'm "feeling it" or not. Most of the time I get excited about what I'm writing, although there are certainly days when I say "Oh, THAT didn't work."

The other way is when I'm out in the world and suddenly I get an idea, and of course, I can't write right now! I'm driving a car! Or eating lunch at a restaurant! Or hang gliding! Which is why I always carry a little notebook around in my purse so I can take notes of whatever occurs to me. I've also been known to make writing notes on supermarket lists, receipts and bookmarks. Also Kleenex- but only clean ones.
