Goodreads asked Amy Corwin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Amy Corwin If I waited for inspiration, I'd rarely write. :)
I try to write five days a week, whether I'm inspired or not. If I can't get into the groove, I find that editing the previous day's work gets my mind working so that I can do my writing for the day.

I should have added that as advice to aspiring authors: don't wait for inspiration, make yourself inspired by writing. You'll find that the discipline of writing on a regular schedule actually makes you more creative and more inspired, than just waiting around for some spark of creativity to light.
