experiences are different from one to another and starting something can be very daunting! nevertheless, anon, I encourage you to take that leap for yourself. ofc, your first work won't instantly be good which is normal 🫶 but any art form/skill, especially writing or drawing, does need consistency. its never too late to start, lovely anon, try writing a few sentences and read/dissect a lot of books (reading other works will help building your own style) 🫶

as for my own journey ... I like writing since I was a kid but my actual attempt on writing professionally (in English, bc my native lang skill is very limited lmao) was after high school. I have a dream on making my own games/publish my own story as a book, you see 😆

sorry for the long answer! and thank you very much for this thoughtful question! 💖 I truly hope it gives you the boost to start writing 🫶
