Hey! I'm new here! I'm 19yo, from México lol

I've always loved Writing, Short stories, poems, tales—even two of my short stories have been published in comprehensive Latin American anthologies—but lately, although I haven't stopped writing, I've felt unmotivated, like, I have so so many ideas but I cant put them up in the paper... Or laptop.

I just want a What advice do you do to avoid running out of motivation to write, or even worse, running out of ideas?

Hey! I'm new here. I'm a big fan of mecha and science fiction anime, as well as political and war-themed ones. I've always enjoyed telling stories, and for the past few days I've been mulling over one of this, a mecha story, Something similar to Gundam, Patlabor, or Macross... I'd like to share it with the community and see what you think. I'm also looking for feedback and ideas for discussion, if possible! Thank you so much for anything!

So, here is what I've been Writing:

Context

In the year 2095, on the brink of a new century, humanity's hope of leaving behind its violent and destructive nature is shattered. Mirroring events from decades prior, a racist Republican man is elected president of the United States. He swiftly implements a plan to capture and deport all immigrants without exception to their countries of origin, further militarizing the U.S. borders.

An incident soon followed that would ultimately trigger an international political crisis: on January 14, 2096, a woman called the Central Immigration Office (CIO) to report a group of undocumented immigrants. In response, a military squad breached the Mexican Embassy in New York by force, assassinating the ambassador and an undocumented family of five who were awaiting transport to return to Mexico.

Following the attack, massive protests by legal immigrants and sympathizers erupted across the Americas. Consequently, the United States adopted increasingly abusive policies against free speech under a regime on the verge of totalitarianism. Driven by a blind, false sense of justice, protection, and power, the U.S. invaded Mexican territory under the pretext of "ending organized crime and bringing security to the people." Their goal was to seize control of these nations under the well-known banner of freedom, hiding their true intention: exploiting newly discovered resources in that region of the continent.

The war began on unequal footing for Mexico. Through a coordinated ground assault from the north and a rapid aerial advance, the northern superpower managed to capture the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Following this conquest, Latin American countries united to form F.I.E.L. (Frente Integrado de Energía y Defensa Latinoamericano / Latin American Integrated Energy and Defense Front). In an effort to gain ground combat superiority—and leveraging their boosted energy and production capabilities driven by the discovery of massive deposits of valuable materials—they retrofitted heavy-duty humanoid construction vehicles (VEHOs, by its Spanish acronym) into highly refined Military Humanoid Units (UHMs). Deployed to the frontlines to reclaim lost territories, the ensuing counter-campaign resulted in a devastating 40% casualty rate for the military forces of both factions.

The story begins at the absolute peak of the war. Aurora, an 18-year-old girl and the daughter of two test pilots from the early UHM units, is orphaned after her parents are declared killed in action on the Sonora front. She scratches out a living piloting a VEHO in voluntary rescue missions for war victims. Eventually, facing a severe shortage of troops, the military scours for new soldiers and pilots. They cross paths with Aurora, drafting her into service without leaving her much of a choice.
