Don't be "aspiring". Write. As soon as you write, you're no longer "aspiring".
And write and write and write. The more you write, the better you get and the better you get, the more you want to write.
Oh, yeah. Write.
Finish what you start. Recognise and ACCEPT that first drafts are crap. JK Rowlings' first drafts were crap. James Patterson's first drafts were crap. EVERYBODY'S first drafts are crap.
