Goodreads asked Kim Falconer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kim Falconer Big and little inspirations hit all the time, in a kind of random way, like while talking with friends or riding the bike or walking to the beach . . . doing the dishes. But the real fuel to production is ritual routine. You have to take the writing seriously. "Treat it like a job," Stephen King says and it's fabulous advice. Also, have a place to write (den, office, corner of your room) where you can close the door, every day, unplug your social media, phone etc, and write. Inspiration is in the doing. You get disciplined, an go for it, every day.

Goals help too, and deadlines, especially when they're looming. :)
