Goodreads asked Kwei Quartey:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kwei Quartey What I read. After I read a few pages from Henning Mankell or Walter Mosley, I feel I must write as well as they do. Beyond that, I don't know what drives me to keep writing. Sometimes a bad review gets me depressed, but after about 2 days I get out of the funk and take the review as a stimulus to simply try harder, and back to the manuscript I go.
