Goodreads asked Lorelei Moone:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lorelei Moone Habits and routine. It may sound boring, but I don't as such wait until I'm "inspired" to write, instead I strongly rely on my routine to get me in the right frame of mind. I have to have my morning tea (milk, no sugar), and ideally I need to be on my own. After answering emails, maybe checking out social media, I open my writing software (Scrivener), and read through the last thing I wrote, perhaps do some light editing. Once I feel I'm "in the world", I try to finish the last chapter I was on, or start a new one, depending on where I am in the story. My goal is to write at least one chapter a day. If the words don't come after that, I might do a little admin work, perhaps make another cup of tea, then try again.
