Simply start writing, and read a lot so you know how good books sound. Write about your experiences. The events can turn fantastical or out of reality, but make sure the themes and heart are true to the human condition and things you are passionate about.

Honestly, I get up and walk around and do something unrelated. My brain still whirls and works on the issues. Once inspiration strikes, I get back to it.
