Stop aspiring and start writing. I don't mean that harshly, but I think a huge impediment to writing is thinking of oneself as "aspiring." It's an excuse not to write; permission we give ourselves not to be putting in the work. Just do it. The barrier to entry in writing in non-existent.
When some people use the term "aspiring writer," what they really mean is something else: "aspiring PUBLISHED writer" or "aspiring professional author" or something like that. Those are different desires though and neither can be fulfilled without first putting in the time and doing the work of writing.
