**The only way to become a better writer is to write.** Yes, you can take classes and read and study, and those things will help, but only if you do them in conjunction with writing. **What should you write? The idea you're most passionate about.** You're worried about "wasting" your idea, but that's not possible. For one, you may not be passionate about it in the future. And two, you don't just get one shot at a story. You can always recycle an idea and use it again. Heck, some people do that even if it's published. It's not uncommon for people to turn a short story they wrote before into a novel, for example.
