(For Authors) Have you ever been stuck on your story?

CALLING FOR FELLOW AUTHORS!

Hello! I am xsummerfire, Author of Life Changer : Jeon Jung Kook. http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/953353, Fear To Love, Secret Rose.

I just want to consult some of the authors here. Hello sunbaenim haha (I only started writing in 2015 May). Have you guys ever been stuck on a story, especially when you have the general storyline planned in your head already but when you want to type it out, you get stuck about what to type (the details, conversation, description, actions etc.)? Because I ALWAYS have this issue. I have the general storyline planned, i know how it goes and how it will end but when I want to write out the chapter, i get freaking stuck! #authorproblems Like for example, I want to write a sweet date, I dont know how to describe it and I don't know what date to write. I can't just keep writing amusement park dates, where else for a date? If I know what kind of date to write, I get stuck on the part on my characters' conversation! 

PS. Because I got stuck, I lost the momentum to write and update :(

So, my point is, what do you guys do? Like how do you get inspiration or whatever it is.

But tell me why this speaks out to me SOO much lol! Like, it’s literally like this for me for all my stories at some point when writing. I have the whole story line planned out, and I have different scenarios that I know I want to write out and where to place them, it’s just the struggle of filling in the blanks till I get to those parts that . When I’m able to know what I want to do, I’m able to focus down and quickly write it out, but if I don’t and I’m just coming up with stuff from the top of my head at the very moment of writing, it takes time. I may also lose momentum to write too sometime because of this. How do I overcome this, I don’t really know. I usually just try to push through it and add in things that can work out well, or, with me, I have multiple stories going on at the same time so I tend to work on whatever I’m in the mood to write and I do very well; gotta still make sure to give attention to all my stories tho.

All the time!!!! On my Google docs has all my ideas for storys but then I don't ever touch them because I don't know how to start.(ーー;) So sad! You are not the only one! For me I have a plot..... But I don't start it. I also have trouble updating. (¯―¯٥) but it's okay! Fighting! (^o^)丿

Hello ^-^ my ultimate inspiration is tumblr ^-^ quotes, images, fanarts and prompts are the best for me to get some ideas ^-^ deviantart is great too :o and listening to songs is another thing to get into the mood, or reading also ^-^
Talking with people helps a lot too because I know that I have lots of silly conversations with my friends and it helps for dialogues or situations in my story ^-^

I hope this will help ^-^ and good luck with your storie (s) :)
