This.

The best way to learn to write is to read.

I would add that your other best tool would definitely be a blank wall. Or a game like Tetris or Minesweeper, if you are the sort of person who can do it with just a little of your mind. But no matter what form you give it, the Blank Wall is one of the most important parts of any writer’s toolkit.

Probably the package of fine-tip Sharpies is just me, though.
