That's easy - WRITE! And READ! If you don't like to read, you'll never be a good writer. Have fun when you write because if you don't enjoy yourself, people won't enjoy reading what you've written.
Don't be concerned with whether or not what you've written is good - just get it down on (virtual) paper and it'll take care of itself. You'll go over what you've written many times and you'll keep some things, jettison others and expand on others.
Keep a notepad and a pen handy for when you get a jolt of inspiration and write it down.
Most of all, be true to yourself when writing. Don't try to be someone else. It's okay to model yourself after a favorite author, but don't try to be that author. You have your own unique voice. Let it shine.
Happy writing!
