Since I am the queen of aspiring writers, I'd give to others the same advice I give myself:
1) Just sit down and do it, every day. Force the brain to work. 2) Use fear of failure to drive you, not paralyze you. It's scarier to think about looking at yourself a year from now and realizing you still haven't written that book than it is to just write it. Fear takes way too much energy! 3) Learn to take critique and be edited.
