In order to win a race, you must first finish the race. This sounds like common sense, but it got included in the Bible, so I'm assuming it's something not everybody intrinsically understands.
To become a successful writer, you must first finish your story. It doesn't matter how bad that story is. The great thing about writing is this little activity called re-writing. It means we get to go back and fix our mistakes. It often means we get to go back and fix our mistakes before the public at large even sees them.
I know a lot of people who want to be writers. I know very few actual writers. The difference? The actual writers actually write.
Do you want to be a writer? Then write. It's that simple. Finish your story. Finish your race.
