He meant what are you referring to when you ask if you should learn the "proper" way?

Writing a lot is the most important part. Getting honest feedback from other people is the other most important part. Also read a lot.

If you can find a good teacher that will help too but the other things are necessary.

"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."

That's Faulkner. You gotta do both OP.

Classes can be really helpful. You hone critique skills too and can make writing acquaintances.
If that's too anti neet, there are lots of good books on writing.
