Find a school with a writing program - (Univ of Iowa and USC in California are two good ones) and start with an undergraduate degree (will probably need to be in English and not Writing as most Univ's don't offer undergrad writing degrees). Take as many writing classes as you can. Try to get published in student magazines, journals or collections. Take classes in journalism to help you be a more well-rounded writer. Try to find a student job related to writing (writing for the student newspaper, editing scientific journals, etc). Attend as many readings as you can (typically offered by English departments or large bookstores). Read as much as you can, in both the areas you like and other genres you might not like but can still offer you insight into your writing. Pursue an MFA in creative writing if you can after your undergrad degree.

By writing, simple as that.
Set some time aside everyday and write.
Don't be afraid to re-read what you've written. Try to find a few subjects that come out often (Maybe ideas for characters, plot twist, etc...) - When you feel ready, try to blend them all into one big project.
