Gordon Korman!

The Twinkie Squad and Toilet Paper Tigers were some of my favorite books as a kid! I re-read them a few years ago (perspective: I'm 30 now) and loved them nearly just as much.

But as for your secret: Don't worry. In addition to the "keep writing" advice, I'd also say to keep reading. Read a lot of different things by a lot of different people to get a feel for ways that elements of writing can work and fit together and how stories can be plotted over unlimited length constraints instead of 44 minutes (assuming your fandom is TV-related, just because mine is these days, but I fully recognize it might not be).

And personal anecdote: I wrote much better when I was also reading. A while back I had a big long stretch (think, like, a year) where I didn't really read anything -- I just watched a lot of TV and movies -- and it's like I completely forgot how to set a scene that read as anything other than stilted and awful and very "Joe walked into the room and sat in the chair. The phone rang, and he answered it."

So yeah. Read. Write. Do both often. You'll get better.

He's amazing. Do you have the Everest/Island/Dive books? I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading them.

I've never read them. Maybe a trip to my library is in order...

Can't recommend them highly enough. You'll get the most out of them if you read the books within each series in order, but the series themselves aren't connected to each other, so read whichever you can get your hands on first.
