I'm not a writer but I've written for a living.
If you're serious about it and will be using a computer, learn a proper text editor (emacs or vi), learn a markup language (markdown or asciidoc) and learn a proper version control system (git).
I'm also not a blogger, but if you're going to blog I'd advise you to learn HTML, learn a cms (wordpress is probably industry standard), learn basic typography and graphic design and take a look at the API of some major online publications like the NYT.
Experience trumps any degree you might have.
