The most important thing to do is read as much as you can. Underline passages that you like, take notes. Reread and try to really figure out what the author is doing, and not doing, how they're constructing the narrative, using point of view, building character. Read before you go to sleep so words infiltrate your subconscious.

There's tons of free articles on creative writing online. Check them all out. Writer's digest has some great free ones.

Find some other writers you can share work with and critique each other.

And write. The more you do it the better you get. They say you have to write a million words before you're any good at it.
