Goodreads asked Manuel A. Crespo-Rodríguez:

How do you get inspired to write?

Manuel A. Crespo-Rodríguez I read the classics, the people from antiquity, to get inspired. My advice: always read the classics first. Read Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, The Bible, The Quran, One Thousand and One Nights, The Bhagavad Gita, Descartes, Nietzsche, Kant... you get the gist.

Get yourself a man or woman. Socrates married an unagreeable woman and became a philosopher. That should inspire anyone to write.
