First, read as much as you can, especially books in the genre you wish to write in. However, read outside your genre, too. Reading a diversity of books adds more to your writer's toolkit, so to speak.
Take a writing course and attend writers' conferences, in order to make contacts in the writing profession.
After you've learned more about plot construction and storytelling techniques, set aside time on a regular basis and just write. Don't worry if it isn't perfect. Simply write the kind of story you'd like to read, and don't edit yourself until you've either finished or you reach a point where you must edit in order to best serve the plot.
These are just a few suggestions.
