Come up with some ideas and certain concepts that u can adapt to different stimuli. And then do practice under timed conditions

The biggest hsc imaginative hack is to have a central motif that runs through the entire piece, such as a metaphor, allusion, or image that you keep referring back to. This can range from cultural symbolism like a Mexican day of the dead festival, to a metaphor of the grim reaper, to maybe the protagonist’s childhood memory. If you have a motif like this it shows that you can write a cohesive story, and also gives you some guidance when you can’t think of what to write.

That kind of leaves it to luck though. I believe that its better practice coming up with ideas on the spot. Say I make up 5 good ideas on the form of a story layout. It probably won't happen but what if you get a random stimulus that doesn't have anything to do with any of them?

ik that's why I said to draft like very broad, adaptable ideas so that ur not going in there clueless and also practice doing imaginative on the spot
