My favorite fictional character is the Captain in the Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I love how he comes across as a grumpy sea captain, yet, he'd do anything for the lady and kids.
In my own work, my favorite is Billy Garfield of Bayou Story. He's a young man who put his family first.

I tend to pull out my trusty Scott Edelstein book, "The No Experience Necessary Writer's Course" and complete an exercise or two from it. That book always generates ideas for me.

You can make up the entire world, create people, express emotions, and direct a story. Your book is your baby, you nurture, raise, and announce it to the world. It is uniquely yours.

Write what you love to read. Read and study your favorite authors. What makes their books so good? Learn how to visualize a story so that you can show the reader instead of telling them. Above all, read, read, read.
Never give up your dream of writing. It is a long, slow, hard path to tread but worth it even if only one person ever reads your book or comments on it. Never get discouraged, never let go of the dream.

Inspiration comes in many forms, a song, the weather, wild life, people watching and memories. The smell of rain or new mown grass, the sunlight drifting down through a myriad of leaves, all create atmosphere which generates any manor of emotions and thoughts and scenes.
