The problem was reaching out of our novel's geners. Like when our novel is supposed to be drama but put some romantic ways. That was my problem like trying to make things within the kind of my novel. But not because I have no talent, it is my creative issues. When I think of a plot, I always think straight to the fantasy ways like immune to death. By the way, I am thinking to creat Discord server to post leaks and paintings drew by one of you guys. But I am not sure I will be all the time. So let me know.

You never HAVE TO break out of genre expectations. Some authors are very successful staying in their "wheelhouse" - V. C. Andrews with the modern gothic romances, for example.
If you WANT to break out, to have a comedy scene in a tragedy, or have your character leave the Wild West to go out into space (as I did in one story... and similar to what the Monty Pythons did for a scene of The Life of Brian), just write that scene, and then sit back and figure out the connections.

That certainly is a selection of words arranged into a specific order.

If I'm understanding you right, you want to know how to put elements of other genres into your books. You do this by putting elements of other genres into your books. There's no secret, or special technique. Just write the story you want to tell the way you want to tell it.
