I think you have a great writing style but if you truly feel like you need to become a "better writer" as you say!.!.!. !.the best thing you can do is read!.!.!.!. read everything, read while you're writing your masterpiece :P
I spent years reading romance novels before I ever decided to become a writer and I have to say that seeing how different writers in my genre write helps me be a better writer!. also never discount joining writing communities, attending their conferences and always chat with other authors about new ideas!. They are great sources of information!.
And never stop writing no matter how many rejections you get!.!.!.!.!.!. its inevitable all writers get rejected!. Most get rejected more times than they get accepted!.
