Keep writing. That's it. That's all need to know. there's no magic spell, no secret handshake. You have to keep writing, and know that your first attempt is going to suck. Don't sweat it -- we ALL suck at the beginning. My first novel sold was the fourth novel that I wrote. The other three? I don't even dare use them to line a birdcage. They might kill the bird!
