Goodreads asked Jerome Jewell:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jerome Jewell I get inspired by observing the movement of the world around me. This makes it inevitable that I will want to write about what I hear, see and experience. I'm curious about "stuff"....from "The Big Bang Theory" to the homeless guy in front of my favorite cafe, to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, to the eyes of the grad students who I get to coach at my alma mater. These are all in motion, changing the world...and they all have a story to be told. I'm slowly learning how to listen better, which improves my storytelling, which improves my writing.
