Strengths and Weaknesses in Writing

WE INTERRUPT THIS YIFFING WITH A WORD FROM OUR FOX
So uh... I thought it would be a good idea to share with you guys what I think are my best and worst traits in writing. Ya know... maybe I could get some help remedying the bad ones but...
I believe I am best with...
*Character creation and development
*World and concept building
*Having some sense of style
*storytelling and story building
*when I DO write, I can write with speed and efficiency
I believe I am okay with or CAN be good or bad depending on the situation with...
-tying plot points together
-word choice (can be strong at times, but also repetitive)
-I at least have some semblance of grammar fluency (But far from perfect. I do not know everything..)
-making more minor character s stand out with under or overdoing it
-Differentiating certain main characters from each other (in other words, do my characters, all of them, feel different?)
But I think I TOTALLY suck at...
X Plot coherence (Sticking to one central plot)
X Editing and proofreading (Mistakes often fly over my head)
X Avoiding certain mistakes in GENERAL (I still have much to learn)
X Expositions. (I am AWFUL at starting a story. Once I do it's no problem, but it's doing so that's hard for me...)
X Giving explicit detail (Basic detail sure, but I can only do so much before I feel repetitive...)
X Changing my mind mid-story (Coincides perfectly with the lack of plot coherence)
X NOT being in constant slumps ( I do NOT write nearly as much as I SHOULD, dammit...)
Just to give you an idea of what I think of myself as a writer. One that shows promise, sure, but is still woefully short of being anything truly outstanding in any way. And that's because of these unfortunate shortcomings, which there are a lot of... I hope to overcome them someday...
I can only keep getting better though. So I will still pursue continuous improvement as time goes on...
