I've such a serious halt in my imagination lately and I can't seem to break out of it. Any ideas?..

Really?? I've never experienced an imagination "Halt" before.. So best thing I can say is watch some anime or maybe go in the Elite Hall or Veteran Hall, even Intermediate Hall and watch some of their animations. Maybe you can get an idea of what to do there.

You don't have to make anything original. Just wait for something to come to you. It happens to me all the time.
Another idea my friend gave me is to think of a scene and elaborate on it. I don't have any examples but this is what I do.

If you're low on ideas, perhaps it's because your reservoir is low. Spend some time reading interesting books, or watching good movies, or just about anything that is known to inspire. Next step is just digging: You start the project, but it turns shit at first, so you just keep "sculpting" it until it looks right. Does it make sense? That's usually how I go about it nowadays.
