Don't stop writing.
Don't second guess yourself. If you're doing that, you've stopped writing.
Writing constantly will teach you how to write.
Eventually, you'll edit and revise. A lot. And even when you're in that process, don't stop writing new content, too. Have a side project to work on at least an hour a day that is still about creation and not revision.
Write and write and read some and then write more.
It should be fun. Hard work, but fun. If it's not fun, put it aside and work on a piece that IS fun until you find the inspiration again. Sometimes one piece needs to breathe a while.
Again -- just keep writing. And believe in yourself.
