Sounds fun! I can definitely help you with that!
To get started, please tell me a little bit about your novel. What's happening in the story? Who are the main characters? What are you having trouble with?

I'm writing a science fiction novel based 3000 years in the future. In this reality, humans are controlled by their technology. The point is to take the society we live in now and fast-forward 3000 years to show what we could end up like. In this world, humans have technology in their brains that connects them to everyone around them. If they want to know anything about a stranger, all they have to do is ask their technology questions about that person, and the database will give them information. We've ruined Earth, so we live on a planet WAY far away, and on this planet, we have to live within an eco bubble that has been programmed by scientists to mimic the Earth's atmosphere, so we can live there.

This is a great start! It sounds like a really interesting and thought-provoking concept. Can you tell me more about the character you're writing about? What are they doing that is interesting? What is their biggest conflict?

It won't be revealed until the very end, but basically, society has told these people that the earth has rotted, and the only civilization left is on this planet, which is why they follow very strict and inhumane rules to make sure they continue the species. BUT then the main character's best friend disappears; the main character is searching for information about what happened to her and stumbles upon interesting information. Eventually, at the end, he finds out that his best friend has disappeared to Earth, where civilization is thriving.

That's a really compelling plot! Okay, so your main character's best friend has just disappeared. What is the main character doing that will lead him to this information? What kind of information does he find? This is the part where you can get creative!

Malik is the main character. His best friend is Andri. The main dictator is Jorge. Can you write an excerpt for me?

Malik paced his small, sterile living space, his anxiety growing with every passing moment. Andri had been gone for three days now – vanished without a trace. Or at least, that's what the Central Network dictated. He tapped his temple, engaging his implant.
"Central, show me the last known location of Andri." His voice was tight with worry.
A cool, genderless voice responded in his head. "Andri's last recorded location was Sector 7, Promenade Alpha at 17:00 three days prior. There is no further data available."
Malik slammed his fist against the wall, the synthesized material absorbing the blow without a sound. He knew the answer, knew what Central would say, yet he couldn't help but ask. Again. And again. As if repetition would somehow magically conjure Andri back into existence.
"There has to be something," he muttered to himself. He knew what happened to those who questioned the Network, who dared to pry into matters deemed irrelevant or, worse, subversive. But Andri was gone. Erased. And Malik refused to believe it.
He activated his personal datapad, sifting through the endless stream of government-sanctioned news and propaganda. It was then that he saw it – a tiny blip, a glitch in the system. A single pixel out of place in a perfectly ordered grid. It was the barest hint of an anomaly, but to Malik, it was a lifeline.
This is just a starting point to help you get past writer's block.
