Tips for continuing a story??​

Answer 1

If you are trying to write a story but feel writers block it can sometimes feel like a dead end. However, it possible to get back on track. It depends on the kind of story you are writing. If it’s about suspense you can find a bunch of new ways to make the story longer and entertaining, if it’s about love it’s a bit more complicated because you are suppose to fit the pieces together and make sure the bond between your two characters develop and grow strong through the good and bad.

What I usually do is fantasize with the story through my own perspective. I think “how would I react to this situation?” Or “How would I feel?”, “How do I want to be treated?” I usually am the protagonist of the all the stories. Then, I write it down the experience but change the name and physical aspects of myself so the story can have original characters and not bore the reader with “I” But, I do highly suggest to fantasize about the situation.

Also, you can try to gain ideas with old movies and series that have to do with what you are writing. Series and movies nowadays find inspiration on old entertainment so you could do that as well to find inspiration. However, I find that what really gives me the kick I need is telling Jehovah my plans. I tell Jehovah “I want to write about this and that, how do I make it work? Please can you shine my path?” To be honest I find myself writer blocked and when I tell Jehovah my problem he immediately puts in my mind ideas to longen the story. Also, Jehovah is God’s name, prayer helps and if you use his name he will immediately listen but you have to be consistent and repeat him what’s important to you.
