Anna K. Thomas
The classic - reading a book and being highly dissatisfied with the story, complaining loudly, and someone (my mom) telling me to do better.
In my case, my anger stemmed from all the obstacles in the hero's way.
I sat down and started to write a story without obstacles for the hero - only to realize that a) this is dreadfully boring, and b) as author, I can write obstacles AND remove them!
I was hooked and haven't stopped since.
