Goodreads asked Elodie Colt:

How do you get inspired to write?

Elodie Colt No inspiration needed. I love to write, always have. I don't need extra motivation and I'm wondering how authors cope with that who need to set themselves a word-count limit every day. How good can the story be if I have to force myself to write?
I wrote my first fiction stories when I was thirteen - unfortunately, I've stashed them on the old diskettes as there didn't exist any USB sticks or other storages back then. I'd love to have a look at them again, all those years later!
For me, the days are too short to get everything on paper. Sometimes I sit eight hours in front of my computer until my fingers ache and my eyes water and it still isn't enough to satisfy my writing hunger :)
