I'm glad that you're asking for advice instead of just whining like some other people with deleted pastas do, and that you don't want to get into the same rut some writers do (by writing about the same old characters). One suggestion I have is think about what scares you personally, what kinds of horror you enjoy reading, and some things you wish writers had done differently in their stories. That way your writing can have a personal touch and not seem like stories we've all seen before.
