Don't worry about 'the story', just write your feelings. Once you get perspective on what happened, I bet the story will come to you.

Don't think about how each part connects to the next. You say you're writing, you just don't think anything is good. Well, that's not writer's block!!! That's self-doubt, and every writer has it to some extent. Don't read what you wrote until a few months later, and you'll see that your feelings did come through, and maybe you'll be able to tie some parts together so you have the beginnings of a book. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day! Some famous books took five years or more to write. Write whatever comes whenever it comes.

Even if I know I am writing crap, I write it down and I figure "I will edit it out later", eventually I start writing something better. No really. It works. Write each morning, write where your words take you and jsut see what happens. I fyou write on a computer it is so easy to erase the bad stuff after the fact. A lot of people stop writing (get blocked) when they aren't saying what they want... but the words will and do come as long as you keep writing. The thing I do is just keep writing.
