Sometimes I just start with a genre or a type of story I'd like to write and see if I can come up with an idea for it.
Once I get the premise for the story figured out, I use more real life inspiration for the smaller scenarios, settings, and characters within the story.

I am the same way. All Of Your life was compleltly based off when i met my hubby in world of warcraft. And then i just added to that. Jane is based off my mil even though we all know nicks mom is terrible my mil isnt at times lol.
Southern Comfort came from watching the ID discovrry crime channel lol. But i watch a lot of tv so most of my ideas come from there. I have a hard time reading books i read poorly so its hard to get into a book sometimes

Sadly this is probably Running Up That Hill. I think the idea of writing something about the boys being on the Black and Blue break was good, with the additional insight of it being ten years after the fact (well uh it was when I started writing it LOL) but placing the restrictions of having each chapter be equal to one day of them break and having all 4 POVs in those chapters made it a very limiting way to tell the story and is definitely the reason it's taken me so long to finish it.

My ideas come from a variety of places. Usually they come from songs, sometimes events in real life that I extrapolate and create a story around.

*gasp* I disagree!! I can see why you would say the way you wrote it was limiting, and I do wish you would finish it, but once you do, it's going to be amazing! I wouldn't consider it poorly executed at all!
Sakabelle:
Well thank you :) I have been working on it off and on lately, actually. I think I only have 6 or 7 chapters left to write before it's complete.
There's a question: What story took you the longest to write?
Because for me it's Running Up That Hill going on 4 years lol
