I usually write some poetry most days, plus I also write blogs for other people. In terms of my own fiction writing, I write when I have time to dream; when there is quiet and I can imagine the ideas in my head. When I read I get ideas, and also watching dramas helps too.

Stick to your idea, write, and when you have finished, then ask for help and advice, with an understanding that you probably will have to change certain parts.
