Write every single day. Set realistic bench marks ("I'll write 500 words per day") and reach them.
Read every single day, but don't stick to the genre(s) in which you write. Read fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. You'll learn from all of them.
Learn to edit your own work honestly and don't be offended by feedback that you've requested.
