I don't follow, I'm afraid. What context is this in?
If you are talking about outlining a new story, I would look at some pictures online, using a searcxh engine to find something of thew general area I need inspiration for.
There is a point when writing a full first draft, where you hit a sort of barrier. It doesn't matter what, you just want to walk away from the story. You don't care what it is, you'll do it... brick laying, ballet dancer - you just feel what you have is utter rubbish, the characters are ridiculous, the plot you have is unbelievable... you know it is a mess, and you feel a fraud. In that instance, you just have to keep going, and you will find yourself getting over it, and finding your stride again.
If it is editing, or regular writing, you have to force yourself to sit down in front of the script. Yopu stay there, and don't go away. You might end up being there for a little while, looking at it over and over, but then you will no doubt fiond something that will get to you, and you start working on that bit, then more and more until you are back in full flow.
Sometimes, you just have to force yourself to go and write something more. Writing is an activity of persistance, of determination.
Hoepefully this helps? With so little to go on, I really am struggling to come up with anything practical...
