Stop saying "I am a terrible writer.". You are good when you decide you're good-- confidence has many merits, and they are boundless. Doubtless you'll look back at the old pieces and shake your head in wonder as to how you conjured that shit up-- the weak points like bleeding bulletholes: Revise, twist, take risk, push your concepts as far as possible. Even failure is success when you take that and rewrite your blueprints having learned your particular strengths and weaknesses. You'll come to learn what works and what doesn't, it'll become instinctual. Pursue the thought that "I'm fuckin liquid fire flowing beneath the crust waiting to erupt." and write. Don't try, DO it, and do it relentlessly.
