“9-what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?”
Ah this one is a fun one! I tend to do a lot for inspiration. One of the things I do is I nostalgies over thing that has happened to me as a kid/teen and try to implement them into characters.
Example:
When I was a kid I used to eat jared pickles a lot and drink the juice. (True fact)
Knowing it’s a bit of a weird thing to do now. It seems like giving a character this trait will help them stand out.
Another thing I like to do is just daydream. I daydream a lot, most of the time I’m in a dream world (paracosm) working on something.
Listening to music is another thing. I usually do it to calm down from strong emotions. But I’ve noticed listening to sad music helps me with story ideas.
Another and more generic thing I do is people watch. Maybe their mannerisms or overall look, it helps kickstart character ideas and potential story ideas.
