Goodreads asked Rudy Castaneda Lopez:

How do you get inspired to write?

Rudy Castaneda Lopez Short answer: I don't believe much in inspiration.
Inspiration for subjects, plots or actions, perhaps, but inspiration to write would leave me in the fickle hands of a petulant muse.
Like Jackson Ryder says on page 8 of my book, 'most artists trudge along, doing their day jobs, paying bills and simply working.'
My inspiration, in a sense, is keeping to a schedule. Opening my eyes every morning is what gets me going.
