It can come from anywhere. Usually the inspiration for ideas will come from hearing or seeing something and thinking - what if? I also tend to finish writing for the day before the end of a scene or at the start of a new one. That way I can hit the keyboard and be up and running as soon as I open up scrivener.
However, most of the truly inspired ideas come, I think, from the subconscious mind. You are typing away and suddenly think, "Wow - I didn't see that coming.", and I'm the one who is writing it!
