What I would suggest is that you start with writing short stories first, because hey, they're short, and you can write many of them in a year. In addition, they allow you to try out different styles and plots and characters and develop your own 'voice'. Maybe from there you can move on to longer works, but for me I usually write short stories because of time constraints (i'm a student and we do timed assignments). In any case, heaps of good luck for your novel and I hope to read it someday! jac:) It sure is ambitious!
