    I always find that it helps creativity flow if I'm writing rather than typing, so first, get off the computer for a while, and just write out different ideas, write them all out (because some ideas that may seem stupid, could end up spreading out to something else). Don't worry about your handwriting, just write away. Draw pictures of your characters, write about there past (that doesn't need to be in the book, but it's vital for you in order to put your characters into situations realistic for them). Once you start to understand your characters, the story get's easier to write. And as the book goes on, if your ideas change, that's fine too! But never fully erase full chapters, you might want some of that materiel later!

    And remember, it's totally normal to get a writing block, but it doesn't last forever!

    As for names, I'm not sure, Why not get a dictionary and look up words in it? Find words that have cool meanings, or mix two words together?

    Hope that helps :) Good luck!

In his housing group called(....) this new year he has this girl named Kim who looks at him strangely and he confronts her about it. Kim tells bob tht he is I danger and walls away. 3 days later somthing attacks him. And u can move on from there. Pick any names.
