various suggestions, some of which may or may not be helpful depending on how you are wired
- some people benefit from going and doing something else and giving the thing they're stuck on a rest. For me, my "brainstorming" activity is washing the dishes, I shit you not. If I get really stuck, I take a break and do the dishes, and sometimes this unsticks me.
- some people benefit from talking out their thoughts when they get stuck - if you have a chat partner (Discord, Gchat, whatever) that you can talk to about your story, that might be one thing to try. I know a writer who basically talks out his entire plots this way when he can.
- some people need to have their ideas for middles (or whatever) sparked by external stimuli, whether that's interesting pictures, watching TV for plot ideas, or reading inspiring books. If you're this kind of writer, you'll probably know what the "sparking" activities are for yourself.
- some people benefit from just sitting down and logicking their way from A to B to C to D in linear order. I'm not one of these people, but my husband is and when he does this it looks like magic to me.
- some people benefit by writing scenes nonlinearly and jumping around in the timeline. (This is me sometimes.)
- some people benefit from a steady routine to make the words come.
- other people need to change up the routine or even their writing media (e.g. changing what app you're writing in, your physical surroundings, etc.)
- some people benefit from brainstorming tools like mind maps or writing things out on real/virtual index cards and shuffling them into place.
