Find something that excites you and write about it. Get the practice in. And hone it. When you've written something, leave it for a couple of weeks at least, then come back to it and see if it's really any good.
Oh, and develop a thick skin. Because rejections are likely to happen - and when you get a book out there, so are bad reviews.
In fact, only do this thing if you are driven to do so. If you love writing, then it's all worthwhile. But if you see it as a means to an end (like getting rich) forget it!

Hey Brian! I am a mathematical-physics student and just finished reading "Are Numbers Real?". When reflecting on the final chapter in the book, I was curious what your thoughts are about the current state of physics. Do you believe that there has been a change in mindset in modern physics? Have we reached the point where we are predicting unprovable theory (wormholes, string theory etc) because "the math checks out"?
