Read loads - "How to" books are good for learning structure, rules etc, but the best "How to" books out there are other novels. Read loads of them, both in and out of your genre. See how different authors do certain things like describing the scene, dialogue, action etc. You learn much more from that, in my opinion, than you do from "How to" books.
Oh, and write, every day.
