if you can't write a plot, maybe you shouldn't write a book.

Write about a man and woman who meet each other and discover they're the only survivors left after World War III and have to start all over again, but first they go on a cross-country tour of the ruins...

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 work's 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.

How about a transexual, guy-to- girl,. The guy finds out about the change because the transformation started wearing off due to the lack of hormone pills... I'm shooting from the hip here, so I hope this gives some kind of Idea. :-p

There are no plots left that haven't been done. There's nothing new under the sun.
Everything's been said now,
All ideas expressed,
So I paraphrase familiar bits
And plagerize the rest.

Write about what interests you. If you like romances, write about that. If you like topics like sleep walking or flowers or kinds of birds, put that into your story.
