Write. Just write. That sounds silly, I know, but it's harder than you might think. Try to do a little bit every day. There will be a lot of times where you just don't want to, but make yourself do it.
Don't edit as you go. Push thorugh. get through that section, that chapter, that book. You can always edit later - that's what your second draft is for!!
The biggest one though is stop listening to all the negativity. I know how hard this one is, too. Not ony do you have all those people around you saying how hard it is to make it, but then the little voices in the back of your head start in. It can be crippling. Stop listening to them.
