I always start with characters. I create a few and write a lot of scenes where they interact with each other. This is exploratory writing that might not make it into the final drafts, but it helps you figure out who your characters are, what their motivations are, what they think of each other, etc.

For me, the plot emerges from the characters. I never begin with the plot.

Looks like you'll need to find yourself a good proofreader at some point, too.
