I have found that I get a better reaction from people once I am less bothered about their reaction.

How often do you consider writing a piece a certain way and then once you start the process, it turns into something entirely different? Does it depend on your own mood or does the idea take its own course?
Many times we look at our writing and tend to get stuck at a certain point. You can ask yourself the 'What If' question and come up with a good or even a great solution. It doesn't always work that way though, does it? We are who we are and most days, our writing follows a certain path, whether we like it or not.
At a certain point you feel as if you've run out of ideas and keep using the same ones you've either used or have read about. How do you fix that? It all depends on you. If a specific action causes a specific reaction, it becomes inevitable, repetitive, or worse, predictable.
Let's consider your writing as part of the Rubik's cube - make it more interesting! Six sides with many different options. It all depends which way you turn it - a specific action - could get multiple reactions. Now, your ideas may not fit on all the little squares, but consider using a similar method. Writing down random acts on Post-It notes, then putting them in a jar, and doing the same with the reactions.
While you may think it can't work, you have to consider the fact that not everyone responds to a particular action the same way. Can you really remember all the types of reactions there might be? Probably not. If an idea strikes, write it down on a smaller note, put it in the jar. Fill those jars up. Then, when you most need it, grab those jars and see what you can find that might fit the situation, or even shock the situation. The best part of writing is the element of surprise. 
'Til next time!
