Though not essential, you might want to download, install and listen to this Loops package, to see if any of it appeals to you.
Loops can be useful, even if you don’t use them in your songs.
As a catalyst, they can help you come up with ideas that just needed some “encouragement” to materialise, especially when you’re stuck for ideas.
I shy away from outright plagiarism, even when it’s allowed. As opposed to “stealing a lick”, it’s way cooler, cleverer and far more satisfying to just “plagiarise the mood”!

The default location for ‘AVID Loopmaster Sample Pack’ is:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Sound Libraries\Loopmaster
Many prefer to use an external SSD for Samples.
Whatever letter your drive starts with (for example, let’s say it's ‘E’), the path for Structure by AIR Music Technology would then be:
E:\Sound Libraries\AIR Music Technology\AIR Content\Structure
Hope that helps!
