Allow your writing to be fantastical, silly, illogical, overly dramatic, ridiculous. Don’t get hung up on whether or not your story makes sense at first. That is what editing is for.

If you think it would be cool to give your character a unicorn as a pet DO IT even if they live in a city or magic doesn’t exist. Why?  Because maybe you will find as you write that instead of a real unicorn, they have a unicorn keychain that is their good luck charm or that they own a horse that lives on their grandparent’s farm or that their best friend is obsessed with unicorns.  But you might have never discovered those things if you didn’t start writing out the farfetched idea. 

Give yourself permission to write wild.
