Read, read, & read a lot!
Write when ever you can,and never give up.
It's no good having all the ideas and characters stuck in your head.
My desk draws are full of A4 note pads with hundreds of ideas jotted down.
All ways keep a small note book with you, you never know when the next idea or character may crop up.
Observe reality, sit a generic coffee shop window and just watch the people go by. I love people watching, placing jobs on people and trying to work them out just from the clothes they wear and the amount of shopping they may be carrying.
But most of all hit the agents hard. You really have to make them want your idea.
