Goodreads asked Jon Ray:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Jon Ray The hardest thing about writing is...writing.

The basics to getting started are having a story ideas, at least a beginning, middle and ending. Then bullet point those with major plot points and events within your story. After you have this, you're ready to begin filling in the blanks between points.

Set yourself two word count goals. One for the entire book, the other as your daily goal to get to entire book number. Stick to it, stay focused, and write.
