Alright, with my story 'Fear of the Dark' I wanna write part 3, but i'm stuck. I don't know how I can make it move on. I don't want people to tell me what to do, but I was wondering if anyone has some excercises I could try?

I haven't read any of your stories yet, and you said you don't like people to tell you what to do. If we make suggestions you can choose to use one of them or merge two together, that's how many people write. If you trying ot think of something work something in your personal life into it. May sound stupid I know but in a story I did I worked a few items in and it allowed me to do extensions. I'll look at your stories and see what I can suggest.

Just pick an enjoyable time you've had then have it put into the story. It gets interrupted by the invasion.
PLaying in a park then the children get cut down by weapons fire, something like that.

I start my stories in the middle of the complication. Grabs the readers' attention straight away. Also if I do that, I find it a lot easier to introduce the character. Basically I skip the orientation. At the moment in this story, you don't know the main characters name, you don't know what country he's in, and you don't know virtually anything about his background.
Don't worry, i'll figure something out. On a day I get bored probably... I appreciate you trying to help though.
