For me balancing real life comes first. I really only write maybe about 2 hours a week. How I deal with writers block is to just read other people’s stories. Get some inspiration, maybe a joke or two. As for my writing style I try to picture the entire chapter like I’m watching a tv show. I try to describe each characters facial expressions, tone of voice, and I try to keep their personalities consistent. With the way you write you have no problem with the last part. As for the direction of your story, just write down any ideas you have and see if any of them work. You can just revise any parts you don’t like in the end.
