Read, constantly. Write every day. Carry a journal. Record every idea, no matter how stupid it might seem. Recycle -- meaning never throw out anything you write. Today's stupid, dead-end story might be the answer to a plot problem 5, 10 years from now. Give yourself permission to write a first draft that is so bad, if you printed it out and lined a bird cage with it, the bird would die. You can only improve from there. The important thing is to get SOMETHING written, so you can start revising. And HAVE FUN!
