Good writing, like anything worth pursuing to a certain level of quality, takes practice. Lots and lots of practice.

Pascal, in a letter, famously wrote something along the lines of "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter."

More practically, I think Pinker offers great advice in his "The Sense of Style".
