Hi, there. I know this thread is a bit old already, but I’ve had problems with this as well, so maybe I could give a bit of advice 🙂

Like @maddiejay said, when I plot out my stories, I like to keep things very open ended. (It drives one of my sisters nuts since she’s very organized.)If I’m not in the mood to write something, or maybe something doesn’t seem quite right with a certain piece of the plot, I just skip it and say, “inspiration will come to me when it comes.”

I leave some of my biggest plot holes open sometimes, because later on in the story, if something evolves from the plot, sometimes it’ll make sense and I’ll apply it to that plot hole. (If that even makes sense, I have a hard time wording things sometimes :P)

I also try not to limit myself if I get inspiration for something that could possibly happen in the future of a plot. If I get an idea for a chapter or event that I’m really stoked to write, I take one of my notebooks and write it out, that way I have a draft of it for the future, and I won’t have to hold on to the idea until it comes up in the timeline and hope I have the same enthusiasm to write it as I did when I first thought of it.

I could probably talk a ton more if I didn’t think this was already kind of long and hard to read, so I’m going to leave this here.

I hope this helps a little, even though it’s pretty much what everyone’s already been saying lol. I absolutely love to plot and create characters, so yeah. 🙂
