Thank you, FractalHealing. There are many ways into writing, but a good place to start is being a good reader. Pay attention to what you enjoy reading; if you're really not into a particular genre, you probably don't want to write in it. It's good to know what styles of writing you feel drawn to, then practise... and practise ... and practise. That is, write even when you're not sure you'll have an audience.
Writing is experimentation. It is playing with ideas and asking questions. The more you write, the more you will know what feels really challenging to find flow in, and what comes more naturally to you.
You can also take creative writing courses, which can help with writing styles, format, structure and voice.
I hope this helps. :)
