    and I have to
- that's the main thing. I've been haunted by stories that had to be written. If that's how you feel, then you'll do it.
    how do you prepare yourself for it?
Personally, I need to go away from home. Home is full of distractions. If you're willing to sit in a library or coffee shop, go there. I might do a burst of writing in longhand, and then type it up wherever, whenever. Typing it up/editing/revising is easier than creating and needs rational thought.
    Answers to either these questions or the meaning of life
I'm less concerned with the meaning of life than I am with living. In your case, while you are finishing your story, you will feel acutely alive. It will be good. Keep us posted.
