Goodreads asked Bibi Boom:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bibi Boom I get inspired by people. Not necessarily the people that are close to me, my friends and family, but random people on the street, in the train, at a bar. Whiffs of conversation that I accidentally overhear start living their own lives inside my head, and I can't help but create a story around what I just heard. This is why I love Peter van Straaten, a Dutch writer and comic writer. His strength is to draw a single picture with a single line of text below, with which he manages to tell a complete story. I admire that. This is also why I like to write short stories, like 400 words short.
