Ah yes, that's why there are degrees focused on music/film/art but none for writing! You simply can't learn how to write, it's too vague and theoretical...

I doubt you'll go to school so here are some tips:

Read every single day and actually think about what the fuck you are reading. Take notes. Ask yourself why different authors do what they are doing. What do good authors have in common? What do bad authors have in common? I mean this in their writing styles, their qualifications, their lifestyles, and their ideologies. Don't just read for fun, read with the intention of learning.

Also, go out and experience things. You could study for 16 hours every single day, but if you're not living a life and seeing things, what in the hell are you going to write about? Go do things at least once a week. Go to a bar and actually meet people, buy a homeless man lunch and see what he has to say about his life, go on a date, fall in love, get your heart broken. Yes, I know, you don't want to be a nOrMiE and go to a bar. Alright well go do something that you'd enjoy doing. It can literally be anything, just don't sit inside every day and actually do something with your life or else your writing will be boring trash.

Finally, get out of this mindset that writing is too theoretical to see improvement or whatever the hell it is you think. I guarantee you that if you do what I said, and write every single day for a year, you will be able to see the differences with your first piece compared to your last.

>B-b-but I can't read and write every single day!

Okay so do it 3 days a week minimum. Remember that consistency isn't enough though, you also have to be intentional. With these two values, you will improve at anything you can think of.
