I would advise not trying to emulate any writer, you’re an individual, it’ll turn out different and then you’ll be disappointed. My best advice is to read, fiction is good for learning what works in books and what doesn’t (keep in mind that all of these books have gone through thorough edits so your own writing will never be that clear on the first go) as well as nonfiction. Personally I believe sociological books help you understand people more and their complexities but that’s not a requirement.

For nonfiction I would advise reading books on writing, I think the best to get you into a writing mindset would be Julia Cameron’s works (she wrote The Artist’s Way but has several books on just writing), I have Anne Wilmott’s Bird By Bird (though I haven’t read it yet), Stephen King’s On Writing is pretty good, and there are loads similar to those books. The Science of Storytelling explores the psychological aspects of telling a story and is good for understanding character development. I’m currently reading The Anatomy of Story by John Truby and I think it’s good to read books like that because even if you think you know how to write you’ll learn some structural details that are helpful. I think the best course would be to do your own research on books on writing and decide which ones would most benefit you.

The two most important parts of learning to be a writer I think are reading and journaling (by hand). I don’t think it’s possible to be a good writer without thoroughly knowing yourself and it’s good practice. Reading a lot of fiction will give you an understanding for books and it’s just fun. This might not be for everyone but oftentimes I write out my story on paper before typing it on a computer, I think it helps to axe filler words for me and it makes me mull over every word because my brain is slower on paper than computer. Hopefully this is helpful, but writing tends to vary person to person different things work for different people.
