Goodreads asked Ted Farrar:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ted Farrar If I get a really good story idea I tell myself that if I die before I get it out, it'll be lost forever.I also brag to everyone that I'm writing a novel, because then I'm obliged to see it through if I want to save face. The bottom line is, I have to big myself up to the task. It requires lots of bigging, because writing is a helluva task.
