I've never heard of that story before, so that isn't where my inspiration came from. In all honesty, I saw a YouTube video about things that washed up on the beach and they kept saying Blobster. I thought that it was really funny and was going to make it into a funny story, but it became something scary so much easier. Also, there are some parts which I suppose are inspired by lovecraft, but that is later in the story. Also, I've taken five years of biology in school and really enjoyed the subject that I was going to become a marine biologist.

So those are the sources of inspiration for this story. But, and I do this for all of my stories, I get one idea and let the story tell itself. All I need is a place to start and I'll start writing, which can produce a lot of crap, but I've been rather lucky to be able to finish a good number of stories.
