The idea changed multiple times. It was like the main character, the narrator, was evolving in my head. The way the story moves and how it ends was not my original idea. The narrator determined his own path. I just cleared the road. He did the rest on his own.

Just write. Don't feel like it? Write. Don't have time? Make time. Write. No excuses. Get something down. Anything. Go back and look at it later.

It depends on the situation. If it's about a character, for example, it can be difficult to consistently think about what a character's going to do next. Instead, think about what this character wouldn't do. By doing that, you open a whole new world of plot twists and character motivation.
