Without doing the sort of promotion as above, probably the best I can do is dish out the following:

- Learn yourself some metaphor and simile. The point to fantastic writing isn't often the clarity but the way it plays with the imagination. Dabbling in indirect means to describe people or objects in the narrative in a metaphorical way or in simile comparisons can force the reader to approach the writing on their terms. If you describe the sunset as being like burning raspberries then you challenge the reader to try and imagine what that is, as opposed to laying it out for them cut and dry with "the sunset was red and orange". It doesn't engage the reader.

This can actually be pretty difficult and I still struggle with composing appropriate metaphors. Though this is a practice that can be improved with voracious reading. If you read enough, then you can encounter enough metaphorical phrases or genres to diversify your library or genre.

- Said is dead. While the phrase 'X said/said x' is a easy go-to phrase it doesn't really carry emphasis. So I would advise to study on other emotional expressions to write or their synonyms. Repetitious use of said - as easy as it can be - is pretty boring.

- Learn the tropes and the cliches. Whether to avoid one or pull-off a well exercised inclusion of the other. So if you dare TvTropes will probably be the graveyard of your past-time.

- General learning. While not directly relevant to your writing as a dressed up thing it will help out with the background bits. General knowledge of a political system or the processes behind one or a nation's bureaucracy will help out with political drama and intrigue plots. A general knowledge of engineering processes can help frame or establish a framework in something in a believable, well-enough explained matter that you establish immersion by softening a critical reader or participant's rampant questioning of what the hell is going on.

You're also probably going to be researching or asking how it feels for a man to die or what happens as he does. So go all out and research how to make nuclear bombs why don't ya? The process is freely available on Wikipedia. Even if it seems unnecessary a lot of research may go into any sort of writing (perhaps less-so role-playing), even going so far as going into the field.

Otherwise, I'll dish the rest out in video links and let you chew it all over.

I think this one is very important because more often than not I don't know if anyone realizes the sort of work that goes into - or should go into - world building. Even if this video is a basic overview that probably just barely touches the surface.

So with all that written, I suppose I will extend an invitation: if you need an arena in an already larger world to exercise then there's [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat/ic]Precipice of War[/url]. At six years old though, it's got a very heavy lore but we're patient and we'll help you along. And despite having that daunting title of a "Nation" RP, that only translates here into "several hundred-thousand heads worth of characters at least pushing any number of stories you want within the confines of the present world".
