For the first thing, I really reccomend after creating your characters and story to really think about the series you based it on. For example, when I was making a Survivors inspired story, I wanted the main character Hope to be forced to join a wild pack  (of dogs, btw. It's about dogs lol) but to me it sounded too similar to the actual story, where Lucky was forced to join a wild pack to spy on them. So I made enough differences to keep the plot more or less the same, but still be vastly different from the real book. You don't have to entirely rewrite the story, just make sure there are lots of differences.

For the second thing, try writing whatever parts you feel like and piecing them together. It's not as easy as going in order, but you'll get more done than being stuck. Everyone has different writing styles, and you need to experiment a bit to find what works best for you.
