The best idea would be to go on your own journey and think of things from there. You don’t have to travel that far really, just far enough that perhaps spans a few blocks. Immersing yourself into the world around you as you travel gives you a first hand feel for how it would feel for a character in a story to walk in that same setting. A great thing to do is to first build the setting in the story before you proceed with anything else.
This may be helpful. Pick up a copy of Steven King’s, A Memoir of the Craft. It is written to all of us who have aspired to be writers. Good luck, friend. And I hope you’ll find your passion.
