Writer's Block is something through go through as writer's. It's a point to where you have run dry out of idea's in the writing process. Like you can't come up with anything. Here are some tips to start off with:

• Take a break from writing in general.

• Try out different prompts.

• Take a break from your current project and work on a different project for a bit. 

• Work on a different part or chapter of your story that you might be more inspired to write. 

• Replan some aspects of the story, maybe adding in a new twist that interests you to write the aftermath of.

• Look at writing prompts, books, photos, just life in general for ideas to implement.



If you want different plot ideas continue to read the following:

ROMANCE:

•Write along the lyrics of a song.

• "I love you.", "Lying isn't a good look for you."

• Confront the antagonist of recent/past actions.

•  Have the protagonist wait in the antagonist's home, waiting to tell her/him something positive or negative.

• Create a chapter in the point of view of an outsider, giving their opinion on what they see and/or what needs to happen.

• Create a conflict.

• Write of a more toxic or loving relationship (or changes throughout time)


CRIME:

• Make an investigation have a personal connection to the investigator or other force of authority.

• Wrong person put behind bars, regardless of a confession, witness, etcetera.

• Ask me, @ArinGirl65 for more. (I probably can think of more as of now.)


FAN FICTION:

(This is mainly for romance, friendship, or ask me for anything different.)

• Create something outside the box of whomever you're writing the fan fiction on, or as if they are now like they were in the past.

• Write them to where they try to be like what others assume about them, causing conflict, only to spoil the outsider's assumption and show their true selves.

• Create a conflict between a relationship, even a loving relationship to start out with, only to turn into a more toxic one.

• Turn a rivalry between two characters into a strong bond, eventually leading to a strong, loving relationship.

• Create a scenery of lies, only for their lover to demand the turth of what has been being hidden.

• Also see "ROMANCE" section for more.

FANTASY/SCIENCE FICTION:

• Write based off of a fantasized realm from a movie, TV series, or book.

• Write based off of a combination of different movies, TV series's, or books.

• Create your own realm, using most of your past drafts, then write a story line based on romance, action, crime, historical fiction, etc.

OTHER:

• Please, feel free to ask/message me in the comment section below, on my profile, or even DM/PM me about the genre your needing ideas for.

(I know a few of the above may not be your style, so just let me know if you need a customization for your stlye.)
