Have you tried other mediums beside writing?

If you feel your story is good, but your writing is bad, maybe you should try to express yourself differently.

Making movies, drawing graphic novels, building video games are all different ways to tell your story. You could even try storytelling, which is much less formal than writing.

Of course, all of those still require a lot of work, but they might be more suited to your personnality and existing skills.
