Three pieces of advice:
1) Read a lot and take notes of the kind of writing you love (and want to emulate).
2) Discover the kind of writer you are. Are you a sporadic writer who can only write in sprints when inspiration strikes? Are you a deadline writer who needs fixed dates in the future to push you along? Or are you a slow and steady writer, who needs to write 500 words a day in the morning?
3) Just do it. On a blog, in a journal, for a magazine or media source, for a book...find opportunities to practice your craft anywhere and everywhere you go.
