The most important thing for aspiring writers is to stop aspiring and to start writing. :-) You become a writer as soon as you put words down.
Some advice: Fall in love with the process of writing. You'll do what you enjoy. If you enjoy chocolate, you'll eat it. If you enjoy exercise, you'll do it. So, forget the end result and the self judgement. Just enjoy the process.
Secondly, form a writer's group of writers who are better than you who meet on a regular basis to critique each other's writing. Not only will you develop camaraderie, you'll become a better writer!
