Refusal to learn about current trends, ignorance of changing requirements and a lack of regard for the advice from already-successful authors will mark you as an amateur.

The ability to look at where your story is going wrong and offer advice should be treasured.

How to Write Horror for Children

By Sarah Todd

http://children.fictionfactor.com/articles/kidshorror.html

Mainly because I think some of the ideas carry over to writing for adults (and fanfic) as well.
