Read a few books outside your genre. Then start writing. Don't worry if it's no good. It's helpful to list plot, events, characters and possibly scenes / chapters. You don't have to write sequentially. You can (like film & TV production / recording) write scenes / chapters in any order. For detective / Romance/thriller/Spy etc maybe write the ending first.
