Find a good writing community.
Find several good writing communities.
Join a good critique group, one that points out weaknesses and helps you figure out how to fix them. Then listen to how they critique each other and learn from that too.
Write. Write terrible stories, then work to make them better.
If you want it to just be a hobby, that's fine. You don't have to push yourself to be a bestseller. But if you want to be a bestseller, keep writing and improving your skills until it happens.(less)
