Goodreads asked August Norman:

How do you get inspired to write?

August Norman Between Books, TV, Films, Web Series, News, Blogs, Podcasts, and Social Media, I'm always absorbing info; some worthwhile, some pointless time-sucks. The ideas I jot down, which may or may not become projects, are stories that make me mad. A strong emotional connection to an experience real people have lived through always puts me in, or at least near, their shoes enough to empathize. Also, I'm always reading several things at a time. Fiction, non-fiction, all genres, lengths, and formats, century-old classics and unfinished manuscripts. It's always a pleasure to see an artist execute an idea.
