I write for myself and sometimes I tell a story for my grandkids. I get a wild hair and because I love old horror films (black and white) I'll create a scary tale. I spent 13 years as a dispatcher for a major city and will dabble in crime a bit. Try them out and just create.

Find you a good editing software. Discover the formula that builds your unique perspective. I like to take what I know, mix in what I like then dress that in my imagination. It gives a story life and passion.
I also like for it to read either like a bedtime story or a campfire tale. Once I decide on the mood, emotion, and opening line I create.
Also you must remember just because some has the time to dissect your work doesn't mean that they are a critic.
Be your 1st fan and biggest critic. See how readers receive take your story. Use that as a guide. If you know a chapter is good but another finds fault in it take a hard look at it and see if a few more words will make it better or a few less will let it sing.
Above all else enjoy the journey:) and happy writing
