Spends years--many years--writing. Write a million words. It'll take a very very long time, but you'll be a master writer by the time you're done. Then learn the business side of publishing, marketing, sales, etc.

Dave Terruso
I usually get blocked when I come to a plot hole, or when I'm not sure how to dramatize a scene. To break the block, I go for a long walk or run on the treadmill, get my blood pumping while I'm thinking about the next scene I'm writing. If that doesn't work I'll watch a movie or play a video game. Distraction and movement are my tools. I try to never just sit in front of the computer and stare at a blank page.
