Goodreads asked Seymour Grufferman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Seymour Grufferman I don't know exactly how I get inspired to write. My first foray into writing was in the fourth grade when because of my severe AD/HD, my kind teacher had me write short mysteries for her husband instead of attending to my lessons. I always wanted to someday get back to writing. Many years later, I was doing a tutorial (Oxford style) with a medical student. I used a lot of colorful examples from my overseas experiences as anecdotal examples in teaching. The student said I ought to write a book about my experiences and the seed for writing novels was sown.
