My daughter writes and sketches. She started writing fan fiction then teen horror. Her skills confidence and imagination develop with every story. I encourage her to continue writing and enjoy her stories ( some I can't wait for her to finish and pinch her drafts)
Sometimes she gets stuck on a scene and it stalls the story. Encourage her to utilize the wp leave a gap, come back to it.. keep writing. When she's developing she sketches, some of her characters play on the net.
When she gets stuck I encourage her to read.
I think all of these ideas came from SKs nf books because they are the only ones I've read on the subject. They all work.
In a nutshell his advice was read and write. Read more than you write.
She has an original monster, an unusual environment in a normal environment and great characters. A sketchbook full of pics. The computer is busted!! She's writing in notebooks (and reading SK)
Good luck and keep writing.
