I don't know what I'm talking about, but keeping that in mind, you should consider the following attack strategy: write a lot, and write weird. For example, force yourself to avoid certain things when writing: avoid "I", avoid forms of "is". This is not a rule of How Writing Should Be Done, it's just an exercise, the same way that avoiding goto is an important exercise for novice programmers. I'm sure you could think of other options, like making each paragraph be comprised of one long sentence, or taking a second pass to your work and compressing it into as few words as possible, or picking a small set of words and abusively trying to work them in as much as possible. Maybe these tricks are no good but will just make writing more interesting so that you do it more.

Being different helps in being better, so I think those are good tips. If not only for an exercise and experimentation to test out different styles.
