Tai Manivong
When I am struggling with creative ideas for my novels I discuss my ideas with my friends or my thirteen-year-old daughter. When I talk about what I am writing it leads to more ideas. I also take a step back from writing and work on editing other pages that I have written. I go over the pages and see where I can add descriptions, dialogue, or build in character personalities. I ask myself questions with the comment feature in word to generate more ideas later. For example, if my character is in the mountains, I might ask, what plants are growing there? Then I can add some descriptions of the world. If I am still having trouble I go on a nature walk to clear my mind.
