Read - read everything. Not just what you want to write. But everything. Read critically, read carefully and understand how words can create something much greater than their simple meaning.
Write - write constantly. In your head, on scraps of paper. Set yourself an hour a day to write a stream of consciousness.
Listen - listen to the stories being told around you. Family, friends, media - all have stories that can make you think - "What if..." and away you go.
