[1] Get inspired by the movies/TV shows you enjoy or have watched.

When I tell you, you can find tons of ideas from shows you watched & more.... I mean it! Even the anime above is really great story idea. It's called "Fruits Basket" a favorite of mine. If you're ever struggling, find something & build off the idea or switch things up a little.
Be careful not to follow the whole plot cause I found myself doing that at first with one of my newer books. Only take notes down on the main events that take place or 1 event that will carry the story.
[2] Use story, title, & plot generators to help get a push/idea.

There's nothing wrong with this idea either. Take a genre or concept you like & allow a title to be made out of it. I use these resources only in time where I wanna make a random new story or I'm having trouble debating on a title.
Some generators like the one below even help you decide on character name. It let's you choose the genre so that the name fits the fictional universe, time period, or present tv show themes.

[3] 抖阴社区 about already happened, or current situations your undergoing

This is not me saying feel free to get personal guys, but rather maybe take something like your first bad hair day or first injury. From there, just make your story sound extremely epic. Don't be shy to add on a little " & you know what else happened?!"
Also take note that you don't want to be using any real names. Make them fictional so the story can match up & so you won't struggle adding nice context due to you thinking about the actual situation, rather the fictional version.
[4] Have a positive mindset

Don't think about all the cons so much. It's not me saying don't make sure your story isn't simply thrown together. It's me saying that sometimes you have to let certain things go. Mentioning this publicly, there's still a chance that the writing you beat yourself up on so much actually ended up being liked by your readers in reality. We all like different things. You call it a failure, while we see a success. I myself personally use this grammar tool.( https://quillbot.com/). It can not only paraphrase your writing, but check for copyright, grammar errors, & others. Let's just say your teachers are probably using this one.
For any other concerns, know that I may not have all the world's answers, but that I'm a really pretty decent solution solver.
Come message me sometime. >(<
[5] Take the proper break you need

Even your favorite authors had to go outside & touch grass to come back strong. You get inspired when you venture out, see new areas of your town, get around, undergo your daily disputes. If you wanted to write a book about a bee you saw, So Bee it!
Give yourself the break you deserve no matter how you spend it. Only stay worry that you'll soon find yourself abusing this break & never planning a return. Set limits on this to unless you have a valid or health concerning reason to abandoning your book.
[6] Go back to the basics/Start over

Don't always feel as if you have to delete your book pleaseeee><!!!
Like mathematics, take step by step to solving the problem. It may be that your book fell downhill with a certain character interaction, a certain saying, a certain chapter, or that you rushed something, took too long to get to the point, etc....Take time out of your day & really focus on what could've made you stop liking your book.
Perhaps you felt something greater could've been substituted for what you originally had or that you took a break & came back so now you've already had a change of heart, finding your work cringe. I avoid those type of situations by making sure I have 2 parts written ahead of the chapter I plan to publish, so that way I can go back if I did fall off somewhere.
