Write down storyline ideas when they hit. Be as detailed as you can; you may think you will remember the concept, but it will never be as clear as when the 1st inspiration hits.
Before you start your writing, brush up on basics of grammar and punctuation. I would also suggest reading several "craft" books that will help you write well. My suggested reading list include: "Self Editing for Fiction Writers, and "Don't Sabotage Your Submission."

I got the inspiration for The Christmas Puppy from watching the Hallmark Channel lineup of holiday movies. I wanted to create a real-life story with a touch of romance.
