Don't give in. If you want to be a writer, you will be one (a quote I once read). Don't go to family members for constructive criticism (they already have a preconceived idea of what they think you can achieve. Share your work with your target audience and more experienced writers. ALWAYS look to improve your style of writing and read other peoples work. Learn from others.
