An approach that won't help you now, but will in the future:

Whenever I hear, read, see, or experience something interesting or unusual, I write it down.
Maybe something I watch on TV or YouTube.
Or in the news.
Or (very often) in real life.
Or hear in conversations between people in the bar while I'm drinking my latte.
Often a single phrase.
A line in a song that sparks my imagination.
The possibilities are endless.

I take notes on everything.
On a piece of paper. Or record it with my cell phone.

When I don't have any ideas about what to write, I go through my notes.
I always find something that appeals to me at that moment and in my current mood.
