Answer
JX,

The ability to tell a story is a talent. However, to turn it into something like good writing also takes writing skills.

The best way to get good at writing it to practice writing and to have someone you trust to give you honest feedback read your writing.

I'm guessing you're not a native English speaker, therefore, I would suggest you do writing in your native language first, in order to develop the craft of putting those stories in your head down on paper.

Good luck,
Brian.
