If I may I would like to offer some advice of my own which is firstly, when your mind draws a complete blank do not delete your work, just step away for a month or even two then return to it and when you do return to it don't think about what you are going to add on to your script just simply read what you have already written and you'll find that as you read on through you will not only come up with new ways of writing down what you have but also that those new ideas somehow trigger your mind non forcefully and fill it up with extra lines that were not in your head the month or two previous. Another bit of advice is to never delete some thing that doesn't anymore fit in with what you are writing about as if you put it aside it can always go towards your next project.
