How to say, "My weakest skill is ______"

I was trying to say my weakest skill in Japanese is writing. I found it confusing with all the possible words for weak and skill. What I came up with was:

Satei no udemae wa bunshou desu.

Is this correct?

One of more natural ways would be 「私はライティングが苦手です(watashi wa writing ga nigate desu」。You could say "私の日本語学習で苦手な点はライティングです Watashi no nihongo gakushu de nigate na ten wa writing desu.」, but it is an advanced way.

If you use "I" as the subject of your sentence, it sounds more natural (as opposed to using "my weakness" as the subject.)

最低 is romanized saitei, not satei. I've never used 腕前 for skill; not sure if it's right in this context. I think 文章 means sentence, rather than writing. I'd probably say 私の最低なスキルは書き物 or 私の一番駄目なスキルは書き物.

By the way, kana is something they recommend learners have well in hand before forming sentences; I was surprised to see this written in romaji.
