Goodreads asked Ryan Cek:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ryan Cek In Stephen King's book "On Writing" he says that every idea starts with a question, generally a "what if". I tend to agree this is an effective way of coming up with a story idea. To give an example, "Chemtrail Dystopia" started with the question "what if chemtrails were real and were part of a government conspiracy?" Many ideas simply pop into my head and get stuck there until I write them down.
