My dreams mostly. I don't have normal dreams. They're either very fantasy based or just plain scary so I use that to come up with ideas for fantasy stories and from there my brain adds in a bunch of ideas along the way.

Currently I'm only working on ideas for OUT's sequel, but I'm also working on an idea for a new story where somebody on tumblr gave me the idea for.

Tumblr. There was a text post that gave me inspiration for a fantasy book so I went to write to the creator of the text post asking them about it. Turns out their account doesn't exist anymore so I searched all over google for something similar, but came across nothing and I took the chance to begin a new story. (Not Once Upon A Tear btw. I'm currently working on a different book with the tumblr idea)

This is terrible, but usually I don't. It's rare that I'll get writers block, but when I do it's usually for months on end. I'll try to write stuff once in a while, but it'll just sound terrible to me and I have to wait until inspiration hits me or until I have nothing else to worry about and can solely focus on writing.
