Most people will tell you to write and read. Who am I to monkey with age-old advice? It's true. Read and write. Write and read.
My spin? If you are writing fiction that's in conversation with what's going on today, pay attention to your culture. What are people watching, wearing, listening to, caring about? How do people talk? Why do they talk that way?
