The second draft is just really tiding the story up. Tying up the loose ends, etc. Cyber deities demanding to live. Needing to live. Their situations are usually drawn from real life, though not necessarily my own life.
Autobiographies are great places for inspiration.
Real life is more bizarre than fiction. If you start with a seed of real life and allow it grow out of all recognition you can end up anywhere. As for the plots, sometimes an idea will come out of just a good title. More often than not, it is several small ideas, born over the course of years, which accidentally click together. My current project 'The Bad Man' has a large amount of material in it that I knew nothing about.
