What do you do to get ideas for fanfic writing, and if you write it, how long does it usually take you to begin the book? I personally listen to music, get ideas, write them in a notebook, struggle with writing the current book(s) i'm in the middle of, and end up with writer's block for 2 months.

@I_am_a_Frog_ Ideas just come from everywhere. A lot from music, some from canon, some from just randomly, some based off of other media I've seen, some off of fanart I do. And I just let it sit for a while, run through scenes in my head or while I'm listening to music. I write down my ideas in a document containing all my ideas for books, closer to the time I'll plan specific chapters. I write out 1-30 down the page and put chapter ideas where they would go within the 30 chapters. And then I wait until I've finished writing whatever fanfiction I'm on, maybe then another fic idea I've had sooner, and if I've got enough motivation and still think it's a good idea after that point, I ensure I have a full plan of at least chapters 1-10, plus several other moments later on in the book, a book cover, the title of the book, and an opening line before I start writing.
