If you're stuck on what to write, how about doing something like, "OK I'm going to write a jazz-inspired song." And then pick a jazz artist and try to imitate him/her. Or any other genre, or artist. If you can't think of what you want to write, try to imitate something or somebody else, just for the heck of it. Who knows, maybe it'll take you somewhere you never thought you'd go.
