I don't think I have specific things that stir my thoughts. My story tends to be made via a sort of snowball effect, where a random image/dialogue pops into my head and I just let it play and see what it collects. I guess you could say most of my story played itself out while I watched like an audience member; only stepping in to clean up the edges. It's let my character development grow naturally, and past what I could come up with on purpose.

Since it tends to build on its own, the only thing that stops me is actually getting the completed information expressed in words so I can put it on here. If I'm not in a writing mood, I can't seem to get my paragraphs started. My entire story is technically done already, but I'm just waiting to finish writing out each arc. Getting back into it usually has me just waiting a few days or more until I feel like typing again.
