There are so many possible answers to this question - where do I start?
I think the most salient advice I would give is to write the things that really appeal to YOU. Don't try and be someone else. Find your OWN voice. This may not come at first. You may bumble around for a while. But, the more you write, the more clear your path will become.
If your goal is to channel your ideas out into the world, you need to get to grips with the practical aspects such as computer literacy, formatting, social media, etc. Take stock of where you're at - ask some questions, eg What do I need to learn? What stuff am I not good at/don't want to do and therefore need to ask/pay someone else to do?
