Goodreads asked Steven Burgauer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Steven Burgauer Each morning I wake well before dawn and walk forty-five minutes to an hour to get the mental juices rolling. I take notes with a tiny flip phone that I record my thoughts on or sometimes text myself to read later. It is grueling hard work to stay inspired and I have not magic to share with anyone who wishes to write, except this. A carpenter builds things, an engineer designs things, a writer writes things. Each person in whatever profession they pursue improve with time, as experience builds their mental and physical abilities. Stay at it.
