Writers ask, themselves "What if..." but why? "What if" is what makes great writers delve into their character, solve the characters problems and makes a great story. With ten "what if's" you have several paths to take the story and you can chose the one that makes sense (or doesn't what ever the case may be) AND is the most interesting.
When I'm stuck, I ask what if...
That gets my mind thinking forward on a story. It gets me excited about writing. What if we didn't have "what if". I'd think we'd have a pretty boring scenario.
If you ever get stuck, try "what if..." let randomness come in. Even if it's a clown with a thousand floating balloons.
