This.

It also helps to just rant about something that really pisses you off, or something that inspires you. If you're passionate about something, the main idea will be easy to write and you can just go back and do any necessary editing and format some creativity into it, or even adapt the narrative to an unlikely 3rd person protagonist, like a dog, or an inanimate object. Just experiment and see what you can come up with.
Also, something really simple can be transformed by the creative use of crafty metaphors and such.
