Nobody can tell you how to do it.

They can tell you how they did it.

They can share stories of their attempts to write, good and bad.

But, honestly, after reading five books about writing this year, including this one by a very good writer, a knowledgeable writer, I say that nobody can tell you how to do it.

Ray Bradbury suggests that you, as he has done, should write a lot and write with passion. Try that if you wish. And if it works for you, good. If not, try someone else and test out their ideas.
