Here's another piece of writing advice, that's particularly apposite on this website: Be bored.
Ignore your phone, step away from the computer, go for a walk, do some gardening, just stare out the fucking window. Quiet your brain and let your imagination free.

Me: After 7 years of work and a dev doc longer than the LOTR trilogy, I'm finally writing my novel about a French-inspired vertically-stratified city where a man conscripted into a gang of exterminators hunts a mad centipede god in order to save his sister

Been working on a fight scene in THE SKY MY GRAVE. One of the ship crew in my space novel is gonna ☠️ a bad guy bounty hunter using the ship's FTL drive, the "G-TiDE," as a belt sander.
Gonna be gruesome. Best part of writing, IMHO.

Meanwhile I'm 2/3 through writing a mixed-race monster-hunter girl killing the absolute shit out of a bunch of ICE gestapo.

We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.
It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.

They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

The Shadow of the Erdtree experience is running in circles for two hours looking for any way to progress before realising you walked straight past the extremely dramatic staircase of blood and rot almost two days prior because you were so focused on picking up a mushroom
