Writing comes with serious practice and the level you aspire to will be the amount of exercise you will engage in. Reading wide and voraciously is one necessary requirement for getting your acts together.

This is one practice which I believe will help you. Once you have a story in mind, you should make an outline of it on a paper for you to be able to plan out a suitable approach and to evade the famed writer's block.

First of all, let me say that I think it's exciting that you wanna write a 'new, great story'! Cultivate this desire, groom it, brood over it like a hen broods over her chick. Truth is there will be adversity, there will be times when you would hate what you write; at these times, it would be this desire that would see you through. Starting a new story is exhilarating and a cocktail of undiluted passion. But finishing a story is clinical and hard work.

That said, there are many things involved in our craft: Character, Plot, Setting, Dialogue, Wordsmithing etc, and your ability to dynamically weave these parts of fiction into a story makes you a master story teller. I cannot possibly tell you about say Plotting for example because there's so much to say. But the fastest way to get you up to par with writing your new, great story is 1. Read like Hell, and 2. Write like Hell. Every story is made of two parts: The Story itself and the writing--I'll talk more about this in a second post. Reading and constantly writing will help you improve the two, so that instead of always writing 'she walked sluggishly (or wearily) to the bath tub', you would write: 'she plodded (or trudged) to the bath tub'.

Writing stories can be fun. If you will keep at it, you're bound for greatness. Congratulations in advance!

embrace the silence, moments of solitude inspires me and gives me new and great angles to a story.

The first and most important step is to start writing and never letting go. You cancel, dont be discouraged, start again, and you will find out that the next line is better than the former.

Avoid the use of verbose styles, they make story writing difficult and readers easily loose interest.
For a start, use pen and paper.

I started like this and am still learning. ..
