As someone who does a great deal of writing for games, I will tell you that the best path for a writer is through design. The vast majority of the of the writing in the industry is done by designers, and while there are some studios who have dedicated writers, they are few and far between. And while some designers are dedicated to systems or gameplay, fiction and dialog writing is a big part of the role of most designers.

Of course, how to get into design, well... there are already a lot of great articles on that.
