Goodreads asked Ildefonso Soto Jr.:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ildefonso Soto Jr. When I was a young boy, I read Herman Melville’s book: Moby Dick (1851) although verbally a great challenge, the story of a voyage on a horrifying cold Christmas day from the only surviving crewmember of the Pequod and the journey from Manhattan to New Bedford was inspiring. Not so much because of its eloquence, but because of its simplicity in plot. That takes talent. One I wish I can in words and explanation, express in flawless verbal detail.
