Just write. Point a character at a problem and see what happens when you set them both on fire. You're going to suck, and then you're going to get a little better, then you're going to go through a loooooong period of mediocrity sprinkled with moments of brilliance, and then other people might read your stuff and feel something. Maybe even something you wanted them to feel.

All the Writing 101 rules are not trying to keep new voices down. The only rule that's wrong is there are no rules. There is no rule that cannot be broken, but unless the story is a total fluke, which happens, breaking the rules is ultimately more work than following them.

There are no short cuts. No magic pills, no secret handshakes. There is a hell of a lot of advice out there. Take what you need when you need it and leave the rest until it's time.

You may make it big. You might not. You're probably not going to be as good as you hope or as bad as you fear. The worst anyone can tell you is "this is not for me". If they are not your target audience, you've lost nothing. If they are, listen closely. 90% of all advice is crap. The problem is picking the right 10%.

I know it's hard, but try not to ask for critique until you've taken your stories to the very best point that you could take it alone. Don't run off and join a writer's group until you've developed your own voice. People might say rude things about your writing to make themselves feel better about their own lack of writing. Don't take it personally. People might say harsh things about your writing to make you a better writer. The part of the critique that hurts the most when you read it is the part that you know was wrong and hoped no one else noticed.

Be internally motivated. If you ever find yourself asking "is this good enough?" ask yourself what enough means to you. Learn to love the creative process and not the end result and writing will never seem like a chore.

Line edits will always be a chore.
