It depends on the age of the writer. If young, the aspiring writer should keep his or her job. If not young but not retired, don't quit your job. If retired, take your social security immediately.
Mostly, though, stick some characters in a situation (plot) and see how they react. The characters will ultimately ruin your initial plot but that means they have free will. Guide them back to the altered plot or kill them off if they are too stubborn.
