Write.
I know it's scary, and self-doubt is constantly creeping in. Maybe you won't like what you write. Maybe no one will. But like most things creative, writing is a skill.
You will not know what you're capable of if you let fear keep you from trying. And you will not get better at it if you are afraid to write in the first place. The first step to becoming a good writer is writing. Then, once you have written, edit your work and turn it into the story you want it to be!
