Just do it. Don't meander or lounge around waiting for the perfect story to come along. Write what you want to write. Edit it to heck and back. If you've got the money (I did not) let professionals take a crack at it and see if it works. Whatever you do, you can't publish a novel until you sit down and finish it.
