"Where DON'T I get it from?" would be a more apt question. I usually start with some nugget of an idea or a plot element/character from some existing work, and then I start fleshing out that little idea until it slowly becomes to form the basic outline of a plot.
Sometimes I'll write about some brief, secondary plot in an existing work, just something that I really wanted to see fleshed out until it's own thing.
