Colin L. Howe
Write shit.
Everyone wants to be someone who once wrote a book. Unless you actually write, you'll stay someone who wants to write a book.
Also, find your voice and your genre. It might not be what you want it to be. I'd love to be able to write Stephen King style horror novels, but I know that I could work my arse off and do a mediocre job at best. What I'm good at, is non-fiction, so that's what I write.
One day I'll finish one of the fiction books (notwithstanding the reports I write at work) I'm working on though.
