Common Story Inspirations

As you may have guessed, I'm a writer aspiring to become an author. I believe part of my purpose in life is inspiring others through writing.
So with that being said, it recently occurred to me that there are many ways to get an inspiration to get even one story started, so without further adieu, here's the list:

• Dreams (a little strange, I know, but it's true)
• Discussions with other people
• Fun facts
• Images (whether from magazine photos or someone else's work of art, an idea should kit start right away)
• Questions (these can be what others wonder or what you ask yourself. You'd be surprised how far it can get you)

So there you have it. I hope this helps.
