Start now. Write something and get some feedback. This puts you on the path. Each time you produce something you will learn more about writing, character development, drawing in readers and the business of authorship. It really is like starting your own business. Don't give in to discouragement, learn from it and come back better. Be patient but also keep pushing the envelope.
