Write - whatever you want, as much and as often as you can. Facility with language will allow you to say what you really mean. Read, but not just the kind of thing you think you might like to write. If you find an author or work that really appeals to you, get lost in the story and then go back and dissect the work. Learn from the things you read. And don't be afraid to just plunge in. Look critically at what you've written. With each new effort, you will have gained experience and knowledge.
