Writer's Block

Last night I dreamt that I was in a David Fincher film. It was amazing. I think this dream must have stemmed from my recent desire to write a book. And the stories that are told in his movies contain some really incredible storytelling. I have been trying to think of a good story that I might like to write and I can't decide what sort of book I want it to be. I am leaning towards more of a drama set in recent times. I just don't have any idea what will make it special. I think I just might start writing some short stories and see what comes out. Any suggestions?
You could make some kind of Stephen King or Alfred Hitchcock move in your story that will really throw your audience for a loop... Hmm, drama... These days, it seems like it's got to be "out there" to be special (think Heroes or Lost), so you could go against the grain and incorporate a little old school to give it some extra flavor... Actual storylnes--not coming to mind. Good luck with that!
