Goodreads asked Keith D. Jones:

How do you get inspired to write?

Keith D. Jones That's a misleading question. Don't write because you are inspired. Write because you don't have a choice. The stories leaking from you like blood, vomiting forth all over the page. Write because the alternative is to choke to death, drowning in the stories and ideas lodged in your throat trying desperately to claw their way free. Inspiration is for lazy cowards and hacks.
