: Re: What to do with a story fragment? What should I do when I write an idea, for example a fight scene, but then I find it difficult to write a solution or way to switch from that idea? Should

When I come to a problem like this I usually write a list of all the characters, ideas, scenes and other things I want to include in my story. Like this:

Include a battle scene between _____ and _____.
Add a character called ______.
Use a twist were _________.

And so on...
Anyway, after I've done that I try and piece them together like a puzzle as Rolfedh said before. If I can't think of a good way to piece together some ideas I would:

Look at how other authors use the idea.
Take a break.
Get input from a family member or a friend (two brains are better than one!).

I hope this helps but if in the end none of this works out I suggest slightly altering the idea/scene/character so it's still slightly like the first idea but different. Example: A fight scene with magic becomes a fight scene without magic, a physical war between two enemies becomes a verbal one.
