I had a dream. From that dream I created a scene, within the scene were two characters. From that scene I took the two characters, I examined them. Then I created a new scene, which resulted in their world. Then from this new world I built a story. Within the story I adapted the characters. All this was my inspiration. Re-working idea's is normally how I get inspired to come up with things. I had another story be inspired completely from one word: Seven. I also find bouncing ideas around with others to be very inspirational. As everyone has their own way of interpreting things it always gives me a fresh perspective on things.
