Make a rough plan.
I can't stress that enough. If you start writing without at least a rough idea of where you want it to go, it won't go anywhere.
I haven't written anything. But I did make a mod for Neverwinter Nights. I started like 4 years back and it's almost finished now, but I cannot believe how many times I redid different parts of it. I started out with no planning or idea whatsoever, I just made what came to mind.
Chaos ensued.
