I usually take a break, watch a movie, read a book and talk through the block with friends.

For me it is seeing others read something I created and loving it. Being able to say "Hey I wrote that!"

Get the story out. set small goals. Finish a complete draft. Refine the draft. Edit the draft. Research all about self publishing so you are prepared and knowledgeable. Make author friends to share knowledge with and get help and advice. DONT SCRIMP ON COVERS AND EDITORS. The cover pulls readers in and the editing gets them to stay and respect your work. Everything else can be done yourself or you can find the cheapest way to get it done.

As of now (11/8/21) I am starting a book 1 in a new story set in a world with people with powers (think x-men but its not genetic its scientific) and the best way to describe them is Zombies but they aren't driven by the need to eat flesh and brains they are mindless killing machines that inflict extreme violence and kill anything they come across. (Like world war z zombies and I am Legend zombies.)

The ideas come to me and I just write them all out as they come. Sometimes its from movies, other books, pictures or just a random thought.

I was writing a short story for my blog and the FMC had magic that brought her dreams to life. In the dream she visits a magical fae forest to find a wishing well. The only idea that remained from the original inspiration was the fae forest! It has evolved so much since then.
