Check out "The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers" by John Gardner. Later, try RPG games (Not WoTC/Hasbro D&D)(which apart from being crazy rn, it really got boring around 3.5E when it tried to copy World of Warcraft). There are plenty of games that are more about narrative building and storytelling than mini-max dice-fests and rules-lawyering. I suggest "Blades in the Dark" for one, cus I'm currently playing it, but also it can be played solo, and if you can get a gaming group together, it's an easy sell by saying: "It's steampunk Peaky Blinders".
