By writing every day. Some days you may only write 100 words and they are all terrible, but you are still writing.

First live a life. It's hard to write if you haven't experienced anything.
Second, write every day, whether you feel like it or not.

Fourth, there is no right way to right. Do it your way.
Fifth, only take advice from people who aren't afraid to tell you the truth, even if it is something you don't want to hear.
Sixth, choose a more successful author to get your advice from.

I get paid to lie and make things up for a living.
Dylan S. Hearn
I don't. I have certain times that are set aside for writing. I go to my office, sit down and write. Some days the words flow naturally, as if my characters have possessed me and are writing the story themselves directly through my fingers. Other days it's like trying to climb a rock face using only my mouth. Each day is progress. If I waited for inspiration I'd never write.
