The most important thing is to find out how you get words on the page. I found that when I need a trigger to get started, I write dialog. I'll put two characters in a conversation and before I know it, I've written a scene, which leads to a new plot point, or conflict/resolution.
I read every book on writing I could get my hands on, but reading about writing didn't get the words on the page. I had to try a lot of different things before I found what worked for me.
