I believe the heart for stories come from stories. A couple of good books should do the trick. If he doesn't like reading, start with telling bedtime stories. I turn off the lights and come up with my own stories.
When I was 6, my sister played a game with me. She would start a story with a sentence and have me continue it. We'll take turns. This gave me the confidence to write stories. I realized that anything could happen in a story and that the more I wrote, the more I knew what the story was about. Try it and include a couple of kids in one game. They can sit in a circle and take turns.
