I WANT to be a writer ... but I'm a afraid I'm not very good at it.
I WANT to write a great story ... but I can't for the life of me come up with one.
I WANT to be good at writing because I am never good at the things I want to be good at.
I'm a wanter today. A wanter with low confidence and high dreams.
It's mostly out of frustration, and possibly unrealistic expectations, and maybe even a little jealousy that it seems like EVERYone is scoring agents and publishers lately.
I know God has a plan for me and I know it's all on his time table, but I feel like I'm not helping it any by falling short of my own expectations and I WANT to meet those expectations!

Hey, I hear ya! It does seem like everyone is scoring agents and publishers lately, which has put a hurtin' on my self-esteem, too.
It's easier to be a wanter than a do-er. But if you want, you must do. I think Yoda said that. ;)
Try to remember what you love about writing. Maybe write a fun scene that you know no one will ever read. And keep your chin up!
Patience really sucks sometimes. *HUGS*
Do some writing exercises, short stories, etc. Just write some crazy action scenes and explore your creativity. You do have a talent so don't give up!
