plot, i would make a chaptered section of it and each chapter has a much more detailed things that would be only included in that chapter.
once i finished all them, that is when i start my au. i know lots of work but it really helped me to not sway away from my original plot.

q: how to get more au/fics ideas
i sometimes get ideas from songs, pictures, movies, clips i saw in the internet and even in books.
for example, i listen to some sad songs and then i would imagine it to some kind of story and then *poof* idea (why am i so bad at explaining) +

another one, from pictures, when i roam on pinterest, i see a lot of pictures and when i look at the photo of (example) taehyung in the forest then i imagine taehyung in some kind of forest then he met jeongguk blah blah blah blah.
reading a lot of books and fics also help +

you can get inspiration from it just like from songs, you think of it as a new whole story with a big twist so it would be different from the story you got inspired from.
remember that stealing ideas and stories are part of plagiarism so please refrain from making au/fics +

q: how/where to get motivations?
i mostly get motivations from readers, whenever they leave nice messages for my aus it makes me feel nice and sudden rush of motivation come to me whenever i think of people waiting and loving my aus.

q: what to do when you& #39;re out of motivation?
rest for a while and do some other things, for me i watch random videos (like bts/txt/kpop/anime) until i lighten my mood. i sometimes sleep to regain my energy. also eat! do not forget to eat since they make our braincells work lmao.

q: how to stop procrastinating?
i myself can& #39;t even but focusing on things you want to do first would work. finish things that are more priority than doing other works.
(i can& #39;t really answer this question cause i procrastinate a lot ngl but i try not to!!)
