I often find inspiration when I'm not actually looking for it. Maybe, instead of trying to force things, you should engage in some other activities and not think about writing. Let your brain rest and recharge. Unless you write for a living, you don't have any sort of deadlines to meet, so take a few weeks (or months) off from trying to come up with new ideas and just enjoy yourself. Eventually, without even having to think about it, you'll look at something and say "Holy Shit! That would make an awesome plot device!" Generally speaking, if you're trying to force the inspiration, you're probably not enjoying the process.
