How Does One Become A Writer Without Experience

How do you become a writer? Is there a right way or a wrong way?

There are so many ideas and theories of how one should write with special techniques, methods and esoteric terms, but does it need to be complex or is simplicity the way to go?

What are the pitfalls and successes of being a writer? Why do some make it and some don't?

I'm searching for answers to these questions myself on www.2becomeawriter.com and hope to get some workable answers.
