First of all, make sure you want to do this by taking this simple test. Lock yourself in a room and write for four hours. Don't worry about the quality of the writing. That's not the test. The test is, did you enjoy yourself for those four hours? If yes, then you can write a book. If no, find another way to spend your time.
Second, do what everyone says you should: Write a lot. Read a lot. Revise a lot. And keep writing.
