Goodreads asked Kelly Coons:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Kelly Coons Begin SOMETHING. Even if it isn't a piece meant to be read. The more experience you have with different genres, different styles, and different lengths of work, the more you will have a sense of your personal style—and, remember, different stories call for different ways of telling them!

My recommendation? Fanworks are excellent place to start. They provide you with a built-in audience, as well as a pre-established world and cast. (And even after you've "started," they're fun!)
