A tip to me, to write better as an exercise- Rewrite something (a short story, a paragraph, a chapter, etc) you love, word by word, to understand the craft of it. The act of writing something vs reading it can best be reflected in this way. Then attempt to rewrite that thing from memory, and see what you came up with and how that changes the story. If you practice this repeatedly, you will inevitably write better. This is copying the brush-strokes of the previous greats in painting, but in prose.
