Here's the thing: you suck. The first thing you finish is gonna suck. The first thing you post is gonna suck. The next think is gonna suck a bit less, but it's still gonna suck. It's because writing is a craft way more than a talent. If you want to learn how to play the bassoon, you're not gonna turn up to your first bassoon lesson expecting to be a good bassonist. Writing is no differnt.

not!OP

writing is a craft way more than a talent

I need to believe this.

Believe it!

Talented person that puts in no effort: Goes nowhere.
Talented person that puts in effort: Gets awesome.
Not very talented person that puts in no effort: Goes nowhere.
Not very talented person that puts in effort: Can get pretty damn awesome if they keep at it, but will require much more trial and error than the talented person, because:

Talent: A sort of instinctive grasp on how to do something

Talent =/= magical awesome crafting skills

Talent without effort: Wasted potential

Talent =/= automatic skill

Effort and intelligent effort and educated effort and consistent effort can make you very skilled, you're just starting at a farther point than the innately talented person and have to work extra hard to advance...

To make a strange sort of videogame analogy:

Let's pretend that art is a platformer game (the ones where you jump and run from one block to another, if you're not familiar).

The innately talented person started with the skill called "double jump", which enables them to jump farther than the standard jump.

A person who doesn't have that same innate talent has to go kill 10 enemies to earn that skill, and then can proceed like the innately talented person would.

You have to put in more effort in that initial stretch, but by goodness, you can totally do it. It's not impossible! Never believe that you can't do it!
