Write.
Every day.
Write.
Edit and rewrite after writing, but if you want to write, write. Don't let your ego be satisfied by your friends telling you how good your idea is. Write your story, your article, your book, whatever. Make the time; wake up 30 minutes earlier and write.
That's where I'd start on the advice that's been useful for me. If I went through everything that's helped me, I'd never finish this answer.
