That's a problem a lot of people have. I find you need a story to begin with, then you form your creation around the story.
It's much harder otherwise.
If you're really struggling to think of a story, go for something generic, then alter it. Or get an 'old' story (shakespeare, frankenstein, or older, like Beowulf) and base your story upon that, changing and altering to make it original.
Know where your story is going before you begin writing it. Making it up as you go along isn't particularly brilliant.
