Goodreads asked Paul Manes:

How do you get inspired to write?

Paul Manes I don't really believe in inspiration, in the sense that a Muse appears and grants you a marvelous idea. I just like writing. And I need to do it. So I do it.

And I try to do it everyday, even if it's a single word. Jim Butcher once said "Write everyday, even if it's just a single word, because that will get you that much closer to finishing your work".

So yeah, I don't really believe in inspiration.
