Goodreads asked Leo X. Robertson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Leo X. Robertson I can't think of anything less facetious to say than that I get inspired to write.
It's the same concept behind so many things. Wanna be creative? Be creative. Wanna be productive? Be productive. Wanna be inspired? Be inspired. Wanna run faster? Run faster. Wanna be happy? Be happy. If everyone was willing to accept the Gaiman-esque principle of how simple, how easy and how hard all of that is, we'd end an enormous number of pointless careers so yeah that's how I get inspired to write :)
