Read books until you find something similar to what you want to do, read that, learn from it, study it, and then write.

>tfw you've read a non-zero number of novels

One hundred should be good.

500

I guess that 200 is a good start if the novels are varied classics.

First read Ulysses. Then read 300 books found using a random number generator for ISBN's. Then read Ulysses again. Then watch all of Lucky Star in no more than 5 sittings and you should be set.

15-20 of the classics, outside of that: Have 2 or 3 authors whose work you know very well (preferably in its entirety and that you think you understand to some degree
