Everyone is an amateur, even people who do this for a living, the important thing is starting.
There is not a single author that knows ahead of time whether what they're writing will be good or not, so dinna fash. Knock out that idea into words, and then talk to some people about it. Get stuck into an online group where you can get some good feedback.

Live it! Feel it! Skill with words will come after you practice. Rock that concept first.
I like OneDrive for storage, MS 365 online (for the readback function) and ProWritingAid Professional for structure.
Try and write something every day, even if it's jut handwritten notes. Ideas come at you sideways all the time, record them!
