JK Rowling says in an interview with The Guardian that when she got the inspiration for her newest novel, "I had that totally physical response you get to an idea that you know will work. It's a rush of adrenaline, it's chemical. I had it with Harry Potter and I had it with this. So that's how I know."

I can say with honesty that I had a more mild version of this with my current WIP. I knew it was a good idea, it was something that would succeed in the YA market, and I would enjoy writing it. It was a hunch.
Did you experience anything similar to this with your WIP? Or is your WIP just a story that you want to tell, and damn the publishers? Or is it something else?
