Hmm tough one, it's probably going to have to be between Heathcliff and Catherine or Gatsby and Daisy, ha I'm sensing a pattern there.

I never need to be "inspired" to write. My mind is continuously giving me ideas whether I like it or not. I think if you just give yourself time to just "be", it's a natural process for ideas to come to you. As well as that though, I'm always reading, watching shows/films. Story ideas are everywhere you just need to allow yourself to see them.

Read, write and network. Really doesn't matter what you read, or write just as long as you are doing both. Networking is usually tricky especially for writers, but there's a lot of ways to do it, this site for example is a good place to engage with readers.

Bringing your imagination to life! it's like watching a TV show where you get to steer the storyline in the direction you want.

I honestly don't get it (yet), if anything I have the opposite problem, I have too many ideas! and it's a job to try and decipher which one is worth working on next. I guess the closest I get to writers block is when I get a point in a story where I know where I want it to go, but I can't quite figure out how to get there, when that happens I usually just take a break, and think about other aspects of story and allows me to solve the issue from a different perspective.
