My advice to writers in general is that if you aren't posting your story somewhere as you write it and are waiting until you are finished writing it to post it anywhere, then don't worry about writing the story chronologically. If you are stuck at one point, just move on to another and maybe that will help you figure out why you are stuck.

do not worry about the spelling and grammer untill ur done. then u can write without ur inner editor yelling at u. just because ur story doesnt make sense, doesnt mean its a bad story. make the words do wat u want, dont let them control u. its ur story and u can do anything if u try hard enough. if u are stuck, take a break and come back to it later. i always have a good idea for the middle of the story, the problem is getting there. just take it one step at a time. dont think about it to much or u will get confused.

hope that helps

When you don't know what to write about, start writing about something you know: write about your life, be it in a journal, or even a semi-fictionalized version of your life. If that doesn't help- just free-write. Write anything that comes to your mind, no matter how dull, random, weird or silly it seems, hopefully you'll eventually find something you want to write about and if not, at least you've written something that you can go back and look at later to see if it has any potentential for inspiration.
