Read widely in the genre you intend to write in. Study the books of a few of your favorite authors to see how they handle things like plot, characterization, dialogue, and setting. An outline can help to keep you on track as you write. And if you can, find yourself one or a few critique partners...getting opinions on your writing is valuable, and so is giving advice to others.
