read as much as you can in as many genres as you can (even genres uncomfortable for you) to get a feel for styles and characters. read some non-fiction too. Maybe do a course on creative writing but that's not obligatory.
When you've done enough reading, sit down and write. Write something every day even if it's just for a few minutes.
Remember that good stories evolve during revision, but you cannot revise an empty page.
So, write.
Daily!
