Goodreads asked David J. Waldron:

How do you get inspired to write?

David J. Waldron I remind myself of three mentors who have had the most positive impact on my writing: my 9th grade English teacher, Mrs. Wagner, who shared with me that my three act play (about a surfing contest in Cape Hatteras) was the best she had read from years of assigning the project to students, and insisted that I take my writing ability seriously; Norma Grasso, a humanities professor at my alma mater who rescued me from muckraking at the student newspaper and taught me how to write an inspiring lead supported by a well researched and written body; and my wife, Suzan, who simply inspires me to "write."
