young writers and new writers get a lot of grief about who not good they are my writing buddies are in there 60s they are newer writer and they made the same kind of mistake young writers make me I'm 40 been writing for at least 10 years never sown my work thought it was not good enough but now i am getting ready to get feedback for my writing buddies so nervous never give up keep improving the journey is just as important as the destination
Thanks Grayson! I think sometimes we concern ourselves a lot with the 'greatness' of what we write. Really, writing something valuable depends on the value it holds to us and the value it holds to those that read it. I don't think being a best-seller or winning prizes shows the quality of a book, only the popularity. Thank you for the inspiration you provide, Grayson, you're young but you're passionate, and most of the time, that is what matters regarding writing.
I did fine at writing in high school but then I largely quit in college so that I could focus on graphic design laying out other people's writings. While in lock-down with all kinds of time on my hands I returned in writings that appeared in my design work while learning new web design tools. I wrote two online interactive books; one a chapter book and the other a collection of writings and short stories. I am very happy with how all those skills came together later in life even though a really wish there was a way for it to happen sooner. Maybe there was, but I guess you can't think about that too much. Just got to forge ahead and be thankful that it came all worked out at some point right?
I've recently discussed a lot about the worth of movies / series / books that are just entertaining. Apparently there are people who do think that a work of art is not worth anything if it doesn't have a lot of messages and so on. I found the best movies or books, depending on time I watched or read them, to be the ones that just entertain the viewer / reader in just the right way. So this being said, I think a great work can come out of a young person, or anyone really - however the chance increases that a person with a lot of experience (that comes along with age) will produce a better work. That is all. Also there is the fact that older people actually get to publishing their writings. At age of 15, back before the internet age, I would never have dreamed of publishing anything I wrote. I didn't even know where to begin to do that. A lot of young people will have the tools needed now like never before - we can only wait and see.
Is it a right idea for me to write a novel series, touching on themes like inequality, love during tough times, exploration of new planets, challenging the wealthy class, etc? Thank you, Grayson! Best wishes from Ukraine.
Rimbaud published _Une Saison en Enfer_ while still in his teens I believe. Can a teenager produce a great *novel?* The odds are against it as it does generally require a certain type of developed thinking not present in the young, but there's a difference between a great *novel* and a great *book.*
Perfectionism sucks....that's why no one is perfect.......all thing lies in the thrill of chase........if one were to be perfect.......why would life even be meaningful for them thereafter?.......what would be their motivation to live when they already know it all.......the lesser we know......the wider scope we have for growth......and that's exactly the personal legend....the thrill of chase........writing is introspection........a boost to live more....to explore more.....be it around....or be it....outlandish...............someone said......."By believing that something exists, we create it".............by the way.......don't mind ellipsis.....I am quite addicted to it.....don't know why😅
You're never too young or too old to write

Is it weird I listen to rock to help me write? The sound is heavy, but the lyrics are heavier.
Nope, Stephen King even recommends it so in fact it’s optimal dw
