Hi, Jeff,

Thanks for posting. That’s a good question, and the answer is simple: most authors don’t really need what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say, or a story to tell. That’s pretty much all it takes to start us scribbling. Does that mean writers have to be born with their ability and their desire to write things that other people will read? I’m not sure. But maybe.

OK? I hope that’s the kind of answer you were looking for. And no, Yeet, it’s not cheating!
