For new novels, I often get a new idea when I'm 70% through with my current novel. That can be problematic, since I want to explore this new idea as soon as possible, and thrilling because I know I have something to look forward to next.
For short stories / novellas, the idea usually comes from a call for submissions. By being given just a general theme, I can explore what it means to me and where I want to take my characters from there.
