Goodreads asked Jay Barrett:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jay Barrett I knew I had a talent for writing when I recounted my college English professor giving my short story submission a failing grade. He said my writing was too professional and accused me of copying a TV story.

After I retired, I kept in good physical shape with workouts. But I wanted to slow down the process of getting old. I needed a daily project that provided mental stimulation. For me, writing a novel filled the bill. I am now working on my second novel, another thriller.
