Write EVERY day - even if it's just a diary entry or a blog, a poem or a random observation. Keep notebooks beside you. Your writer's brain is a muscle. It needs to be exercised. Also read EVERY day. Find the time on the commute to work, before bed, in the bath, on the loo ... reading is how we become familiar with good syntax, great plots and characterisation. Learn from those who went before. Books are your teachers.
