I wasted my high school years feeling like I wasn’t passionate enough about writing to actually do it, and that I would never make it as a writer so there was no point in writing, and that my voice was just one among millions of cooler, more creative, and more talented people.
And although all that may be 100% true that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t write.
Just because there millions of other voices out there, doesn’t mean no one should ever hear yours. There might be just one single person that needs to hear exactly what you need to say and if you manage to touch that one person then it was worth it.
So yeah, just write. Write indulgently. Write the trashiest of trash.
Even if you’re only making a bag of microwave popcorn, if you offer it up to someone who really wanted some microwave popcorn, you will become a hero! Lol.
Just heckin do it.

Yes to this! Fanfiction is a personal journey. It’s. Ever too late to start. Well said. :)
