It's hard to keep writing at something, especially when you start to doubt your ability (and you will). If it is something you really want to write you are more likely to keep it going than if you write something just to learn how to do it.

What I first started with was bunches of random scenes, people talking, etc. You can worry about a story later, and a lot of those scenes can be recycled.
