Have you tried the blank paper exercise ?

Sometimes works for me.

You just put words on paper - they don't have to fit anything - you can just write things like:

He stopped swimming.

Lucy cried when her dress was torn.

I hate frogs.

Or, in another variant, you can put character names in:

Illya glanced up

Napoleon sat down

Spock left the table

And then you just ask why? Did Illya glance up because he heard a noise, saw Napoleon coming into the room, the lights flickered? Then you write that.

Illya glanced up, the lights were flickering

Then you ask why again.

Both methods often lead to gibberish, but if you keep repeating it, something may ignite.
