As a professional, I can't afford to wait for inspiration to strike. Once upon a time, I wrote only when my creative energy was high. I'd stay up until the wee hours of the morning, typing furiously. Conversely, if I just wasn't feeling it, I'd do something else. But these days, I write on a strict schedule, whether the muse shows up or not. That means on some days, the writing flows faster (and better) than others. Thank God for editing!
Having said that, there are activities that stoke the fire. Few things get my creative juices flowing like reading a book or watching a TV series that oozes imagination. Visiting other worlds is a great way to motivate me to ratchet up the stories that take place in my own.
