How I learn to write

How I've always learned to write was just by sitting down and doing the very little amount that was required to get by. I've never been a huge fan of writing, honestly I'd rather do any other subject rather than that. So for so irony my mother is a lit teacher and helps college students with writing and what not and people ask me why I'm not that great at it. They say the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree, in this case for writing purposes, my apple was run over by a lawn mower.
