Read with great attention. Read and re-read books you really enjoy and figure out how they're put together. Look at person, tense, scene structure, dialog vs. exposition, timelines, everything. All this stuff washes over you when you're reading for pleasure, and if it's done well, you don't notice it, but with careful study you can start to figure out how other people have done it.
