Criticism of writing, alongside all other forms of art, I'm sure, tends to cut quite close to the bone. Art is personal, and in some sense, an expression of who you are or would like to be. Firstly, allow me to preface the rest of this reply with something: You are doing a thing most writers find immensely daunting and arduous. Constructive criticism will help you grow and improve your writing. You shouldn't stop learning new things about writing at all in your life--at least not if it's something you wish to pursue. While the descriptions you curate might be bland, you can fix this through practice and feedback. Nobody knows if you'll have success or not. I assure you, however, that you won't find success if you don't put yourself out there. You won't achieve any of the great things you want without experiencing turmoil and distress. As for potential, any seed can blossom into a meaningful, vibrant plant so long as it's given the proper resources and environment to flourish. I suppose what I'm trying to tell you is that writing isn't something you ever become "good," at. You only get better at it. I'm still new to writing as well, and in my limited experience, people who say you should quit are bitter and resentful about themselves deep down. The fact that you're trying, continuously putting effort into the long, taxing journey that is art, is enough to drive plenty of people up the wall. I've never seen your writing, thus I'm not quite comfortable in assessing your current stage. Perhaps part of what they said was true. I don't know. What I do know, with absolute certainty, is that if writing is something you yearn to do, keep putting it out there. The strongest steel is forged by the hottest fires. Likewise, the greatest writers are tempered by the harsh spiels of individuals who have fallen short of their hopes and dreams, all due to a lack of persistence and hard work. Again, if you want to get better, keep writing. It's a constant battle, friend, but with enough effort you'll succeed.
