The simple answer that everyone gives - WRITE.
But I'll add a little more to that. Try cluster writing when you're strapped for ideas. Take one topic that you're passionate about, write it in the center of the paper (yes, pen and paper), then write whatever words come to mind about that topic. As you write, you'll see little clusters develop from themes or subjects. Use those as a jumping point for your next project.

I knew I wanted to write a memoir, but also knew I needed a specific focus. As I looked back at the most painful times in my life, I realized I needed to write about the men in my life. My memoir introduces many of them.
