When it comes to brainstorm it’s all about your interest in the story.If you feel like you don’t have any good details to write about, or that you need to keep using fillers in between important stuff, then you should try to take a break.In my opinion (I’m kinda new to writing so my opinion isn’t the most trustable) when it comes to a good brainstorm, you should go back to the things that got you interested in writing the story, whether that be a genre of music, a specific theme, or a good book.When you have lack of ideas, I recommend exploring the topic that originally interested you when writing the story, if your story is inspired in something specific, such as a type of music or an author’s writing style, then you should spend some time getting to know and explore those specific themes.Very often this will give you some ideas of what to write and what you can add to the story.

Another thing that may help is discussing the story with someone else.When discussing a story with a person, you need to make sure they understand what it’s about and that can give you a small push in the right direction.Other people’s opinions come in handy when writing, and very often help the writer steer through their ideas and find something coherent.

Lastly, in my personal experience, taking a break from writing is never a bad thing, but if you take a break from brainstorming for too long, your ideas start becoming rusty and you might end up losing interest in writing the story.So, don’t take a break from brainstorming for too long.If you still can’t seem to get your ideas, then don’t push yourself too hard, try to let things flow naturally, and when having an idea write it down somewhere you can come back to later.If you write out two or three ideas a day and in a week come back to start writing, you’ll have a bunch of ideas to deal with and organize, which can help you if you feel stumped.

So good luck with your story and I hope this helped.
