Along with reading Guns, Germs, and Steel, I'm going to advise you to track down the Jordin Kare song Wanderer and listen to it. Actually, track down everything he's ever done and buy it, because it's that good.

But you need to listen to Wanderer.

Yes, people have suggested things that are going to take time. You're going to have to take time away from thinking about yourself as a writer to become a reader again. You're going to have to take time to learn a little bit of geology, a little bit of physics, a little bit of planetology. I've even insisted that you listen to a song! But that's what goes with writing. That's what separates the good writers from the people who spew unmitigated crap. You want to be a good writer, I assume, or you wouldn't be on MobileRead. Instead of explaining why you don't do things ("I used to read three years ago") buckle down and do it.
