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.

To now address the first bit: the problem is, I really WANT to be a writer. I've really wanted to be a writer since I was ten or so. I've got notebooks and notebooks from when I was younger full of bad poetry and odd story fragments, but I never got beyond the fragments.

But then, I also wanted to be an animator in high school. I wanted to be a webcomic artist. I wanted too many things, I suppose.

I guess when I'm at home, I should go through the old story fragments and see if there is anything worthwhile.
