Nothing you haven't heard before, probably. Start writing, and get feedback from people you trust will allow you to develop your own voice. Take writing classes - community colleges, universities, writing conferences. Read a lot and deconstruct what works or doesn't work for you. I re-read a lot of Agatha Christie to reverse engineer how she fools her readers. She was a master.
