Two things:
1 - Always be writing. Don't wait for inspiration to strike. Force yourself to write for a given about of time at a given time of day and always have a story or idea you're developing or actually creating.
2 - Always be collecting experiences. Writing is not a desk job. Everywhere you go, everything you see and do teaches you about the world and the people in it. If you can't physically get out there, collect experiences via whatever media you have access to, and always be expanding your scope. Experiment with genres you're not familiar with. And no matter what, pay attention.
