Try working on the third of the scale. E minor is actually the same as the G scale but starts at E instead of G. This means you can start a harmony on the G note at the same time as you start your melody on E. From there you just play around a bit, or at least thats what we always find. I know that's not very helpful, but sometimes having the starting note of a harmony makes the rest seem natural.
