Goodreads asked John N. Hewitt:

How do you get inspired to write?

John N. Hewitt Mostly from the news. I've worked in various jobs all my life and find that the daily melange of stories is a very fertile source of inspiration.
Poetry is also a boost for my creative work. Poets can distill thoughts into incisive and interesting words. Novelists splash blather all over the page.
