NSFW, even the URL so I ran it through a shortener you're welcome: http://bit.ly/Zfi1J7 (Chuck Wendig)
Very simple one year plan: write 350 words each weekday. Take the weekend off. Done. Chuck Wendig provides more obscenities, but that's the meat of it.

http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Novel-Print-Lawrence-Block/dp/... is a really good book on how to write a publishable novel. Block has written an awful lot of them, some of which are great, some of which were cranked out to pay the rent.
Do not hold yourself to impossible standards. Everyone's first million words are not so great. (Some of them still get published, which is OK.)
Write, keep writing, revise, find discipline.
