It's a tough one, but start with something that affects you deeply, something that excites, irritates or stirs your passion. Then use the single-story plot (there is only one after all). I'll detail it for you:
1: An event upsets the status quo
2: A protagonist decides to restore status quo
3: Protagonist, in his active endeavours to restore status quo meets obstacles
4: About three quarters of the way through said protagonist looks as if they are about to lose everything
5: Protagonist confronts the singular point of antagonism
6: Protagonist looks like he's on the edge of defeat
7: Protagonist wins out through brain, brawn or skill
8: Status quo is restored
PRO TIP: This also works for Professional Wrestling, Mysteries, and well, just about anything else.
