Spend time on twitter. Twitter is great practice for choosing just the right word, and for expressing something without excess words.
Read good sports writing. English is a verb-rich language, and verbs are the heart of good English writing. Sports writers tend to be verb-masters.
Put your writing on Google Drive, so you can polish it while waiting in lines, etc. Just pull out your phone and start asking, "How can I make this better?"
Read books on writing dialogue. My favorite is "How to Write Dazzling Dialogue," by James Scott Bell.
