Goodreads asked Conor Walsh:

How do you get inspired to write?

Conor Walsh I've always felt that inspiration to write can come from anywhere. Whether it's other forms of media, or something you might see while out on a walk downtown, anything can feed the imagination.

My advice is this: pay attention. The strangest things can spawn ideas - snippets of overheard conversation, people you pass by in the street, or maybe even something you see in a pawn store window as you walk by. It's easier than sitting and brainstorming fruitlessly for hours on end.
