Write, write, write! Even if you think it sucks. Even if you're scared. Especially if you're scared. You'll only get better by writing more.
My #1 rule in life is this: Feel the fear and do it anyway. Every time I sit down to my laptop, I'm convinced I've forgotten how to write. That the next sentence I type is going to be my last. That people are going to laugh and be cruel and tell me I'm a hack. But I do it anyway. Because if I didn't, the fear would win.
And *I* want to win, guys. I like winning!
