Goodreads asked Michael Forester:

How do you get inspired to write?

Michael Forester Usually by drawing from my unconscious. When I'm just waking in the morning, or by deliberately going into meditative trance and seeing what ideas come down. Equally good is walking in or driving around the New Forest - the place I love most in all the world.

I have found it's essential that I carry pen and note paper at all times. If I don't quickly write down the ideas they will disappear - as I have found many times to my cost.
