Erus Ludus
I'll quote two of my favorite writers:
Tolkien said that your creativity, your inspiration comes from the 'humus' (the most fertile soil) of your brain. This is a depository of everything you have read, heard or feel.
Jorge Luis Borges said that all stories were already told and what writers do is retell them.
I agree with both of them. Inspiration come from all your experiences, books that you read and people you met.
