The best thing to start doing, is just read. There are several books you can pick up, either from your local library, or a bookstore. I am reading Screenplay: The foundations of Screenwriting by Syd Field and Spike, Mike, Slackers, and Dykes by John Pierson. I write what I know, and from experience, but there's plenty of topics in the world you can cover.
Writing and directing are two different things. Just remember what Kevin says "If you want to make visually stunning films, don't drop out of film school".
If none of that works, just listen to what Vincent or Kevin says.
