Drew Karpyshyn
I talk about his on my FAQ page at www.drewkarpyshyn.com. I have some tips and some very useful links there to get you started.
I also talk a lot about this in the author notes of A Minor Malevolent Spirit and Other tales, my new short story collection. In addition to ten horror, fantasy and sci-fi stories, you get a look inside my writer's process for each piece. Check it out here: http://drewkarpyshyn.com/c/?page_id=10
But the biggest thing is to be patient. It took me ten years before I started making a living as a writer, so don't expect it to happen overnight. It's hard, and you need to write a lot - A LOT! - before you get good enough for people to want to pay for it.
