Never give up. If you love to write, then you probably have a God-given gift. Keep honing your craft. How do you hone? You read about your craft, you study it and you practice. Attend as many online workshops as possible (many are free), attend conferences and seminars, meet and talk to other authors, find a local writing group, and if you feel ready to publish something, find yourself a reputable agent. Again, I stress: never, never quit.
