There's a few other authors that do it to me, but Neil's stuff is like mainlining. When I read Neil Gaimen (Bradbury, Bisson, and a few others, but reading Neil is like mainlining for me), ideas blossom like the poppies in the fields of Flanders. Those ideas rarely have anything to do with what I'm reading (story, plot, flavor, etc). And then I read authors like John Scalzi, who I like both personally and his stories and style, and nothing comes out. There are even authors who I can't stand their writing, but when their work is in front of me, the ideas start falling out of the ether. And then there are authors that I just love to read and they turn the Norns' well dry. Reading Neil Gaiman. There's a few other authors that do it to me, but Neil's stuff is like mainlining.

The out of breath stage goes into being able to take in the air deeply. Then I'm surprised at what ideas pop up in my head inspired by what I see on my walk or just the stream of thoughts. Pretty much usually empowering thoughts. I'm heading out now. After about 10 minutes of walking. The out of breath stage goes into being able to take in the air deeply.

I'll be a week or two from finishing up a book, and I'll be thinking, "I'll never come up with the next idea." The next morning, I'll be in the shower and think, "I should write a book about satanic telemarketers." In the shower, no doubt.
