Stephen M. Holak
Just write. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it takes a million words and thousands of hours to "get it." And read: all the best writers are also voracious readers, and you need to see what others are doing, absorb their techniques and approaches and incorporate them into yours.
One last thing: don't edit yourself when you write. Just let it flow. There's two parts to your writing mind, and they contend--let the story come out and edit the hell out of it later.
