My best ideas for stories usually come from listening to people speak. Listening is a skill that I do eveything I can to try and improve. Sometimes I'll be talking to someone and they'll say someting interesting. Or I'll overhear a unique snippet of conversation as I work, shop, play, or handle neccesary tasks. Then those ideas become manifest on the page.
I have modeled characters on real people, but that gets tricky. Most of the time I use original characters. I like to ask myself as I write- 'what would this character think or say to this?' I think that it's important to keep that question in mind when writing everything, not just dialouge.
