Honestly, my inspiration comes from everywhere. Lately it's come from children's books and watching classic Disney movies. I have a whole fairytale retelling series planned just from reading books with my kids. That's where I get a lot of my fantasy book ideas.
As for Romantic Comedies I think I get ideas from tropes, and how to twist it to something I want to read. I find what I like in other books and make it mine. So I have the Bolts of Love series planned, and then another series following siblings falling in love that's on the backburned for a few years.
I think anything can inspire you, as long as you're willing to sit and think about a plot for a minute. Scenes can come to you at any point in time, while doing anything. Write them down and pretty soon you can piece together a story and it's awesome.
