This is a frequent problem for me, and I think, every writer on earth. The way you explain it makes me feel that your writing straight from the heart, and I say good for you, but it seems like theres a lag in the inspiration part of your mind. You need to find something you're passionate about and write about it. Something that you love; something that touched, hurt, excited, disturbed etc you deeply. The death (even imagined) of someone is a great source. Most everyone can write about death. You might also try free writing, which is the technical term for writing without reading, stopping, or editing it. If you can get in a relaxed enough state, and you just keep writing, it will come straight from the unconscious mind, which plays a major part in what you write. Try not to think about your writers block, or get too concerned.... if nothing else, life will go on, and it should go away on its own.

Another idea to help is to chart out your story in a brainstorming web or outline format. That way, you can get all of your ideas down at once, before you forget about them, and when you are in the writing "mood" you can come back and pick up where you left off. Good luck!

Ok, i'm a writer myself, and i've always said pictures help. I draw pictures for most of my ideas so I can get a visual idea, then I can write about what I visualize.
Try doing stroyboard sketches, just simple pics, or a timeline.
Just send me a message if you need help.

I don't want to appear rude but your spelling and grammar aren't the best! Try a writer's course - I'm not being funny - I love writing stories too and a course would help improve your spelling and grammar and it will give you ideas on presentation style etc! All the best and please don't think I'm being funny correcting you - I'm trying to help!
'hole' should be 'whole'
'I've wrote' should be 'I've written'
