I would also argue that inspiration comes from everywhere for writers. We have examples of what we admire, which influences and informs what we put into our own stories (e.g. being inspired by another writer), but we also have the seeds that will become the stories, which is its own kind of inspiration. Since they are two very different things (or they should be), it's worth separating them when writing about "the process".
