For me it's not so much about inspiration, but rather something that spawns an idea. Once an idea is spawned, my mind will then put it through a rigorous testing and examination phase. If it passes muster, it's tossed into a pile of ideas where other parts of my mind put the bits and pieces together into larger ideas until eventually I get a full blow story concept.
So in short, most of my writing isn't inspired in the proper sense of the word, but rather analytically constructed. If you still want to call that inspiration, then I guess that's how I'm inspired.
