QUESTION: What inspires your book ideas?

A woman reached over and smacked her husband on the arm and said, “Quit being so crotchety.” I smiled and thought Mr. Crotchety would make a great title for a book. Then I brainstormed the story and wrote it. Caramel, kettle, cheese or regular popcorn? Yes, please.
