Goodreads asked Jim Hardison:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jim Hardison I tend to write in streaks. An idea will come to me and I'll sit down and write for as long as I possibly can before I have to stop. Usually, I'll write all night long. Unfortunately, eventually something always breaks the streak and I have to stop. From that point on, I tend to be a deadline writer. I set myself deadlines so that I can require myself to get the words down on the page. A deadline provides the fuel I need to get myself started again, and once I get into it, I can generally keep going.
