Goodreads asked Milo Shapiro:

How do you get inspired to write?

Milo Shapiro While working on "Public Speaking: Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!" and "Public Speaking for TEENS: Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!" , the inspiration for writing was in the strength of my outline. On days when I was really motivated, I could bang out 4-5 of the points on that outline which felt great. On days when I didn't feel like writing, I'd promise myself I could stop after one point...and I'd often do 2-3 in the end. Get the outline solid before starting.
