Goodreads asked Simon Weiner:

How do you get inspired to write?

Simon Weiner Sitting down and writing a book is difficult, especially when there are so many better alternatives. Without doubt the middle and end of the book is very hard to finish and you need to keep in mind the benefits of a best selling book - sharing your insights with a potentially large audience and the benefits of being a best selling author -. The question comes to mind of 'what are you willing to do to succeed'? And then you simply push yourself to write.
