You are on the right track! Not only do all pros start off from where you are, the job's hard enough without trying to predict the future, so cut yourself a break and don't sweat it yet. Write well, and love what you write, but with the knowledge that you're probably going to have to do radical surgery on those manuscript-babies at some time. But do write, write, write. Otherwise you paralyze yourself trying to hit every mark the first time and then NOTHING gets done.

Go for it, Pike!
