If you have an idea, start writing it down. For some reason ideas seem to go stale or go away if you don't.

I'm an engineer, I'm a writer, they are not mutually exclusive. I took a creative writing (sci-fi) class in school, and almost failed. So I didn't think I could write well.

After watching a movie, I got ideas, and being bored, started writing, and 54k words later I reached the end. It was a blast! And the story was pretty good to. I'm 74k words into another story.

Writers write, reading is good but reading makes you a reader not a writer.
