Many years ago I did a webcast for Moz (formerly SEOmoz) on the topic of how to find things to write about. The webcast is behind a member wall (free to sign up I think) but might be helpful to you[1].

Other tricks I use to come up with things to write about: search Twitter/Quora/Reddit for people specifically asking questions related to what it is you want to write about (e.g. "automatic habit"). Then break each question down into its fundamental components to create a more complete set of topics, asking who, what, where, when, why, and how of each specific question you encounter. This way one question ("What types of habits should be automated") can very easily become several ("Who benefits most from automating habits?", "Where does automation take place?", "When should someone consider automating habits vs. not?", etc.).
