Sometimes the ideas come to me out of nowhere. Sometimes it depends on where I am, what I see or something I smell. It could also be from something I hear in conversation, on television or in a movie. Even dreams can spark an idea occasionally. But when an idea won't leave my mind and it keeps coming back to me again and again, then chances are it is the story I want to write.
