Is there anything in particular that inspires you to come up with new stories and/or magic systems?

Really, anything can be the seed. Reading about science and scientific discoveries tends to be the most helpful, but I can't say specifically what leads me to create them. (Though I'd suggest looking at "Sanderson's Laws" of magic for a longer explanation.)

Brandon Sanderson:
Which current fantasy author(s) would you recommend to someone who has read all of the WoT books? (Well, besides for yourself.) :) I plan to read your books- I've heard great feedback from friends; but other than that, I have a hard time knowing who is 'good enough' to try out.
