No way! Doing is learning. The more you write, the more you learn. Write, write, write, write and write some more.
If you don't like reading you can learn from yourself. Read through your work after you finish and experiment with things such as new words and different ways of describing things.
Have fun while doing it! It's YOUR story, you can do whatever you want - If you want to blow up the eiffel tower, then go ahead. If you want to live with Beyonce, go ahead.
Go for it! Try different genres such as horror, romance, sci-fi and so on. Remember, you don't HAVE to show your stories to anyone - they can be your own personal project, so don't be embarassed to go into things like dreary-love scenes (e.g. "I love you so much, Miranda, I want to spend my life with you and never leave you!"). Obviously keep it appropriate.
1 tip
NEVER throw your stories out. No matter how "rubbish" you think they are. (OR ANYONE ELSE for that matter)
