Read the type of book you're writing.
Do tons of homework. Learn about writing, specific needs of your genre, self-publishing vs. trade publishing, agents. Learn, learn, learn.
Have others read your book for comprehension, editing and proof reading and ask for feedback.
If only one person doesn't like something, but several others do, pause and evaluate -- who do you want listen to?
If you don't think you're a good writer but feel called to write, take a writing class.
We make time for what's important to us. Mark "Time to Write" on your calendar and honor it as an IMPORTANT appointment that must not be changed or missed.
And most of all -- write.
