Write. Write all the time. Write fanfic. Write spec scripts. Write terrible first draft novels that never see the light of day. Everything you write hones those pathways in your brain that let you react to life by channeling it into the perfect choice of words. Get your 10,000 hours in early; that will help you master the structure of storytelling -- once you know the right structure for how to plot, you can spend the rest of your career honing the poetry of your words.
