The Bottomless Notebook
That little notebook is a powerhouse of ideas for every writer: The more you write
down bits and pieces of your thoughts and observations, the more you are adding into the well of ideas for future works.
Here are a few things you can record in your notebook or journal, so that in case you run out of ideas to write about, you can refer to it

The Interesting People. Scribble descriptions of people you meet every day. How do they react in certain situations How do their names fit their image
A Word a Day. Whenever an interesting word catches your attention, write it down. It may have a different meaning for you a month or a year from now. If you keep a list of words in your notebook, these words can serve as story starters for you.
Those Quotable Quotes. A meaningful quote can start you off to writing. Collect quotes you come across that interest you.
Ordinary People with their One Liners. Overheard lines in a conversation can sometimes spark your creative mind. Write down these one liners in your notebook. They can be great story starters.

Emotions. Describe what you feel at any given moment. If you feel angry right now, write what your anger feels like. Descriibe it. Use vivid words.
Writers are similar to store owners. Store owners stock their supplies in their shelves, while you stock ideas between the pages of your little writers notebook.
