I did a Creative Writing folio for English this year; we were told to carry paper & pen on us as much as we could; and to just write things down as they came to you; sometimes just listening to two old ladies speaking on the bus can give you an idea for part of a story or some of your dialogue, it sounds really dumb but when you actually start listening out for things and paying attention, you pick up a lot of ideas. Watch the news, take any noteworthy stories and change some of the details, locations etc to give yourself a different scenario. Sometimes just think of an object, person, place, and start playing Word Association until you get to something you can write about.

Hope some of that is helpful...! If you don't mind me asking, what are you writing about/hoping to write about?
