I find inspiration in various ways. Reading other books and stories, watching movies or TV shows, and even just having conversations with friends can give me ideas. I also like to think about what if scenarios and how they could play out in a fictional world.
For me, it often comes from combining different elements. Maybe taking a historical event and adding a fantasy twist, or imagining what would happen if two unlikely characters met. Sometimes, random thoughts or dreams can turn into great story concepts too.
