You have a great start to your research question! Let's try to hone this question a bit more and consider the things you want to research (and ultimately produce an answer for). Your listed questions are:
- Who is Ray Bradbury?
- What inspired him to start writing?
- What is his favorite part about his job/why does he love his job?
Now, your goal is to formulate these questions into a single, coherent research question that you can tackle in a single paper. Firstly, let's think about how these ideas may be related. Your first question seems to be an umbrella question that covers a lot of ground: Who is Ray Bradbury? The answer to this question may very well inspire answers to your other questions. You may learn something about Bradbury that enlightens you as to his motivations for writing and/or why he loves his job. Likewise, the answer to your second question may inspire answers for your third question.
Given the way these questions are related, it makes sense to me to combine them in a way that asks:
How did specific attributes of Ray Bradbury's personality inspire him to jump into a lifelong writing career?
The above question tackles all three of your points, while maintaining focus on your main point: who Bradbury is.
Good luck!
