Congrats!
Just keep at it. The fact that your desire is to write, with conviction and without excuses is enough. The rest is practice.

Oh, and maybe read through some other 'serious authors' with more scrutiny. You may find they kinda sound meme too.

Yes. Sincerity.

Even if your work sucks you'll have a clean conscious; because you'll know you spoke the truth (as you knew it to be) and worked hard.
