I'll just to quote Stephen King on this one: "Read a lot and write a lot."
I would also add that writing in a variety of different forms and styles is a good exercise in finding your own individual voice, instead of just settling into a genre or patterns learned in childhood. For one year, I made it a practice of writing one haiku a day. (I'm a lousy poet.) Rewired some things, shifted how I view the world and language. I recommend it.
