Read Stephen King's "On Writing." And study the craft of writing.
Also, Writing isn't about putting words on a page. It isn't even about telling a story. Writing (in my humble opinion) is about making the reader FEEL something...fear, loneliness, longing, love, hate, anger.
People might be able to tell a story, and they might even be able to write in such a way that it is grammatically correct...however, if the story doesn't move people, it isn't worth reading.
