Read and write like your days are numbered--I guess everyone's is.
Constantly observe the "stories" that are happening all around you. It makes life more amusing, and may end up helping you.
Note the story construction of movies--the good ones and the bad ones.
Write down great lines, great character types (don't get frustrated with that rude waiter--stick him in a book) and story ideas. I've found that even when convinced that I wouldn't forget something, I usually did.
