Goodreads asked Jennifer Idol:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jennifer Idol In my youth, I adored reading classical literature but never imagined creating works of my own. I participated in a poet's society in high school, but had never created anything longer than a term paper before setting out to write An American Immersion.

Nonfiction bored me as a reader, so I was even more surprised to become a nonfiction writer to share the world around us with others. Having now written numerous articles and my first book, I have learned the inspiration for my writing draws from my life experiences. Composing these works comes from my heart. If I am not feeling the story I need to convey, the words also do not come. This includes every social media post, online article, and periodical article.
