Enter your writing in contests! It's a great way to get feedback that will tell you what you're doing right and what you might need to change. Take judges' comments with a grain of salt, because some criticism is purely a matter of taste--but if judge after judge is telling you the same thing, do your best to listen and grow from their advice. Contests can also be a great way to get your writing in front of publishing pros, since agents and editors often judge the finalists.
