Stephen King's book, "On Writing, A Memoir" is very helpful and a good read to boot.

Good luck

I am a published author of women fiction (Inspirational genre). Some advice I would give you is to write down a synopsis of what your story is about, then sketch out your characters in a Character Bio sheet (more detail for main characters like the herione, hero, and villian). Character bio is a must because it allows you to really connect with your characters. Write out their names, where they are from, relationship, friends, educational level...all the way down to their facial expressions and ediosyncrisies. Then just start writing (don't go back and edit becuase that waste time) Just write what you want worry about piecing it together later.
I hope that helps some. Read an excerpt from my book on my website.

Here is a good website, with lessons made by a very successful author, Orson Scott Card. He is very passionate about teaching up and coming writers the basics of the trade.

If you like what you see, there is a writer's workshop within that site that you can join once you have a story established... you can read the work of other writers, and get your own stuff read in a very professional way.
