Great question.
I am partial to Terra Sempre form Drawn and Inked (Terra Sempre Saga). I am also partial to the pre-human/ deities only world of The Sky Throne.
After that I'd love to go to the world of Hogwarts and witchcraft and wizardry. And the world built in The Maze Runner.

Great question!
I'm not so sure about mystery, per se, but I'd say that me arriving on Hampton University campus with zero musical Instrument experience, zero marching band experience, and unable to read music... then I basically "walked on" to the best percussion line in my conference and went on to march for four years and even played bass drum in the concert band for 3 graduation ceremonies... learning everything by ear.
That's plot worthy, yes?

Wow! That's a really good question. (btw, sorry it took me so long to answer it)
I would have to say that my fave fictional couple is Jack Gordon and Sara Thornton from Liz Crowe's Stewart Realty series. They fight hard and love harder. They're not your typical couple by any stretch. They push each other's buttons in good and bad ways, but, in the end, truly illustrate what it means to be loving and loyal through the many trials they face.

I'm lucky, I guess. I very rarely have a true sense of "Writer's Block." I generally have an idea of where the story/ scene is going. But when I do come upon a block of some sort... I go for a run. Running always clears my head.

READ... a LOT! And read widely in the genre within which you wish to write. But also don't be afraid to read outside of your target genre. And then... just sit down and pour your soul onto the page. And whatever you do... care nothing about your first draft. Just get words on the page. You can't revise a blank page.

Once I come up with characters that I love... that's all the inspiration I need.

I began with the question... "What happens to the pictures we draw when we close the sketchbook?"
