OK, quit trying to write for now, and go somewhere.
Take a walk, ride in the car, go to a park, or just sit in your room. Brainstorm.
Now, just try to block everything out, and think. Think about random things, such as a banana or bunnies. Try to imagine that thing in a story, not playing a huge part or anything but in the story somewhere.
Ex. I was riding in the car, blasting one of my favorite songs with my best friend, Annabelle. Together we rode until the road came to a complete stop. In front of us sat a barn and an old man coming out of what looked like a chicken coop. He was holding a snow white bunny, and had that sweet, warm smile on his face that I've seen in dad's pictures.
See? I used the bunny, and that may not be the best example but I was trying to hurry and answer the question.
Bottom line is to not think so hard about it, let the idea come to you, maybe in a day or two. Another way I've found helpful is to write words that come to your head for about ten minutes and go back over the words and try to make a plot with them. People say that authors often do that, too.
Hope I helped, :)

I'm sorry you can't come up with anything. My advice to you is to go outside one day and just sit down in mulitiple different places and observe how people live. Listen to the way people talk. You can get inspiration from virtually everything and anything after a while. Go to different places, or even do something creative to get you fired up in da mood.

I once read an article where a published writer said, "Everyone is always coming up with ideas. They're called daydreams. The only difference between writers and everyone else is that writers know when they're doing it, and they turn it into something else."
Think about it, and goodluck! :)
