Rudolph Kohn
My favorite way to get inspired to write is reading other authors' works. I like to read about half and half classic books and new books to get a feel for what is popular with readers now and compare that with what has stood the test of time.
Every once in a while, I'll sit down with a blank sheet of paper and write down as many rough story ideas as I can. I'll glance at that list each day and see if anything jumps out at me. Often, I can prompt myself into creating a decent idea for a story that way.
