I think my main piece of advice is to learn. Learn all you can about random facts, learn about how things work, learn how people think and act, etc. The more knowledge you have about certain things, the more details you can include in a novel, even if it's just one simple sentence. It makes your characters more believable, and, in my experience, never fails to provide you with story ideas.
