Hii!
I totally understand that problem. Up until now, I usually started with a specific scene I really wanted to write and then worked backward, figuring out how my characters would eventually get there. Most of the time, ideas would come to me while writing, and I would try to integrate them into the story as I went. Unfortunately, that approach doesn’t always work.
I currently have a story in progress that I really, really love, one I don’t want to give up on. I know where I want the story to go, but I’m still unsure how to get there. It has been on hold since August 2025. I do have an idea for how to move forward, but it would require rewriting a lot of already-written chapters, which is honestly a lot to take on and requires motivation I just don’t have right now.
I approached another story I’m currently working on very differently, though. Before I actually started writing, I created “Chapter Notes,” which gave me a solid foundation for the story. While writing, things can still be added or changed along the way, but overall, I have a clear structure, and so far, I’m really enjoying this approach.
When I’m really stuck though, I think about what I personally would or wouldn’t do in that situation, or I look for inspiration in other books, TV shows, or movies.
I hope this helps you a little.
Don’t give up, sometimes stories just need a little time to find their way.
