READ everything. If you want to write, you've got to study the craft.
Write. Work on developing your voice. Don't wait for "the muse."
Listen. Find someone whose writing you love and try to make contact. Look for their blogs, twitter, Facebook fan page or find them here. Then ask them questions about their process, their favorite books on writing, their best advice. Most writers are happy to share with others. Some won't answer, but if you don't ask, you'll never know. AND if they don't answer, it's not like you lost anything since you started with nothing. :)
