Don't give up! Read heavily in your chosen genre. Make sure you have the proper skills by reading books on how to write. Don't just read them - study them. Be willing to listen to feedback without taking it personally. Don't quit your day job - sales can be high one week and tank the next for no apparent reason. No writer is perfect - seek feedback.
