Read this book: "On Writing" by Stephen King.
If you want to write, read it. It you already write, read it. It is part personal memoir, and part writing instruction. He makes you feel like anyone can do it. (Which isn't really the case, but still). Good, common sense stuff, delivered in a no-nonsense manner; you feel like you're having a conversation at a restaurant over dinner - or at a bar, over a beer or two. (I snagged this pic from Amazon.com. Obviously, you won't be able to "look inside" from this).
