Practice makes perfect.
I started coding back in high school when my school offered an AP C++ series of courses. I did a bit of it in college too, but I learned the most when a buddy and I decided to try and make some casual games using Blitzmax. Just set little goals for yourself, get one or two things figured out each day, and then you'll have a game in no time. Though I would probably recommend starting with Blitzmax rather than Blitz3d....theres a lot less to worry about with 2D games.
The fact that the community on these sites is so awesome is a huge plus too. It would've taken me much longer to get my games out if it wasn't for these forums.
Now I work fulltime as a game developer.
