@The_Circus2008 I understand this!
My approach typically involves crafting a narrative where I can incorporate elements from real life, whether they stem from your experiences or others', or even a combination of both. Additionally, you can draw inspiration from scenes in books, movies, and songs you've encountered, using them as loose foundations for your own ideas. It's important to note that this isn't considered plagiarism as long as you're not directly using their words. Many movies have been influenced by and adapted from one another while still maintaining their unique identities.
In my case, numerous stories I create revolve around scenes from books or some of my beloved Romantic Comedies. The key is to make it your own, infusing your distinct voice and style into the narrative. It can also be beneficial to set personal challenges for yourself to further enhance your writing skills.
I genuinely hope this advice proves helpful to you, and I encourage you to continue writing numerous captivating stories. If you ever feel the need to discuss fleshing out ideas or simply engage in a chat, please feel free to send me a private message.
Furthermore, the act of reading expands your imagination, enabling you to delve deeper into creative possibilities.
