Write!
And read a bunch.
And write more.
And read more.
And at some point, let somebody read what you've written, and try not to argue with them when they tell you about what didn't make sense to them--or sound good to them--or connect with them. Even if they're totally wrong. Or it hurts.
In my experience, the stuff that hurts is the stuff that really needs to be fixed.
