Thanks you guys, these are really good ideas! I really do need to start carrying around a notepad. I always try to remember things.
Except for quotes. I write those down if there's paper near.
I take walks while listening to music for inspiration. It really does work well. It's also pretty relaxing. ^_^ Of course I sort of need to listen to a song that matches the mood of the story. xd listening to metal while thinking of a romance doesn't work for me.
