Don't give up and don't overthink things, just write. Sit down and let it flow, and worry about the details later.
If you're too busy thinking about the audience, the story you're working on won't come out the way you have it in your head.
Another thing is to find a trusted editor. Do your research, and find someone with references that you trust. That's hard to do when you're just starting out and can't afford someone, but as soon as you can have your editor go back and rework the books you've already released so that they're of good quality too. I'm currently working through that with the first books I wrote, and my editor is going through my catalog as she can so I can resubmit them with corrections and then get them to print.
