If you are already taking a latin class, you can take a few years of it in order to write in latin proficiently. If you are not taking a class, I would suggest finding a tutor or a textbook you think you can use to learn it yourself. When you know latin well enough to have an intuitive grasp of how it works, you'll be able to write simple phrases and sentences naturally. For more complex things like poetry or essays, you need to use a latin-english/english-latin dictionary to find the words you need and you may need to keep a listing of irregular verbs, nouns, declensions, and other grammar beside you to make sure you're writing correctly. Before attempting to write your own works in Latin, I would suggest reading the original latin of famous classical and/or Christian writers such as Catullus, Vergil, Ovid, Augustine, and Kempis. You can find the latin text online at www.thelatinlibrary.com
