A generic approach:
Scetch details of your main characters - looks, mannerisms, background, etc. Write the details down - or even draw them if you are a visual person.
Then take your main character or characters and imagine them in some odd/out of the ordinary (out of your current works context) places or scenarios – anything goes! Write down ideas on what would have to happen to your type of character or how they would react to the scenario you placed them in.
This may seem futile, but it will help you flesh out your characters further and give you insight into what you may want to happen to this type of character in a potential story. You may even come up with multiple story lines and can see if one of them just seems to be the best or easiest to continue
Strong well-crafted main characters can inspire readers to love your story as well as drive you to write a great story for these imagined beings to be in! :-)
This should get you going. Then you may want to write an outline of you story (a kind of synopsis), including the ending. I have heard that John Irving writes his endings first, down to the last line, and works backwards. The idea of the outline is to give you goals as you proceed. Writing the ending first may give you the "spark" you seek - and also give you something to strive for.

I am sorry to say this, but if you ask others what to write, than writing books is not the right thing for you. It should come from your brains or rather from your hearth. Good luck anyway, maybe you will succeed. I think you are still very young. The older you get the more you learn about life and I hope you will found out what you want to write about. (Another thing you should know how to spell words before starting to "WRITE" books, kind regards.)

I believe that everyone has a story within themselves.Have you ever stopped just to think of all the happy,sad,and exciting things that happen to you and your familyThink of all the scary thing,stories and homes that you have heard or visited.Get the idea. Good luck with your writing!!
Just remember,there is no one that is exactly llike you and no one has lived the exact same life as you.What may be boring to you, may be exciting to others. keep that in mind.

Make it action packed, with suspenseful things in it, where you really don't know if the main character is going to make it out alive or not. That would be an awesome book.
And people need to stop being jerks because people have typos.
