What worked for me was reading a ton of writing-craft books. I hadn't written fiction since school, and hadn't done an English degree (or anything relating to English at all!) so I had a huge amount to learn. Also getting feedback on your writing is really important (I used Scribophile). And finally my writer friends have been amazing! So I'd recommend going to writing events and hanging around at the bar!
