My advice? Talk to your characters and let them tell you their stories. Imagine yourself in a suitable setting -- a pub, say -- meeting one of your characters. Get them talking, and let them explain the story to you. That's how I always do it.
I mean this quite literally. Get your thoughts out of the way and let your imagination take over. If you let your characters talk to you, they'll take care of the plot and the rest of it.
