Right. It could take 2 years to really click and master something you are doing 40 hours a week. Sometimes it takes 20 years. If you deliberately look at your weaknesses for each book you write, you can get better. You have to write a lot to have writing to improve upon. I think if you are humble and avoid purple prose and make an effort to edit mistakes, focus on telling a good story first and people will appreciate it. You don't have to be brilliant.
