Like the_marq said, split the wood into small pieces. If you have some dry wood, use that to get the fire going and once you have a bit of coals start introducing some of the damp wood. Once the fire is hot enough you should be able to burn almost anything.
You should stand your split-damp-wood up near the fire so that the wood will start to dry.
For a good fire starter, roll a 3-4 inch strip of newspaper then tie it and soak it in molten wax. One or two of these in a wimpy fire will get it nice and hot in no time.
