Martin Lake
Read a lot. Fiction, in your own genre and others. Books about writing. If you get an idea, a gem of advice from a fellow writer make use of it.
Write a lot. Sit down and write. Some of it will be good, some less so. It's all learning.
Don't talk about writing. I've found it makes my creative juices seep away.
Think back to your childhood. What did you like to read then? What did you like to play? This is your treasure trove.
