While many writers sit around and wait for inspiration to strike them at their writing desks, Gregory Gottfried works for his inspiration. One of his main sources for inspiration for his debut novel or his series of screenplays he has been working on since high school is his everyday life in upstate New York. He works at the front desk of the Sheraton Tarrytown Hotel and he has worked at many different customer service positions throughout the area. Gottfried has many ways of using his everyday experiences in his writing that he swears by.
Writers like Gregory Gottfried, who know they will be using much of their everyday experiences in their writing, make a point to write down bits of interesting dialogue or thoughts they may have so they can remember the moment and use in their writing. This takes discipline work. The notion that you will remember something for later without writing it down is a myth—one that Gregory Gottfried figured out much earlier in his career. He brings a small notebook everywhere he goes so he can jot down an idea or a scene he can use later in his writing. Gottfried has drawn many critical moments and aspects of characters from his daily notes that he keeps every day when he goes to work at the hotel. Many writers keep running daily journals of everything they do, hear, or say so they have plenty of material to draw from.
Gregory Gottfried hopes to draw as many readers into his novel and other writing as possible, crafting believable characters that drive the plot of the story.
