@_prokookie_ to be honest, theres no real way to do that, you know? like, what i do personally is just randomly start thinking about a plot, and if anything nice comes to my mind i note it down. not in complex words to be published, just note down the main theme of it so i remember later while writing it properly that what i actually wanted to write. i currently have probably 5 ongoing published works and 6-7 drafts, but im determined to finish one, which i update daily. my strategy is, before everyday i go to sleep, i recollect my thoughts on all of my published ongoing books, try to imagine what the next chapter can be like, and then if i can think of anything good, i plan to write that one chapter for the book. but for the main one that i work on, its always my priority, so even if i update the other books, i regularly try to update my main book. thats how i personally manage all my stuff. i dont know if its the same for you, but i just wanted to share, since you seem to be struggling with everything. and also, good luck for your studies and academics. hope you return quickly with another one of your bangers :))
