First, sit down and start writing. Then you have something to work with, to edit and to revise. Keep going. Sign up for workshops to learn about writing, and read books about writing and books in your genre. Join a critique group and be brave enough to share what you've written. Develop a tough skin. Keep on trying, and keep on writing. Never, never, never give up!
