Maybe it's a dumb question but does age really matter? I'm 17 and I've been told that I'm too young..

That's what I think Katie, that I'm not going to be 17 forever but there is this dream of mine that I wanted to get published before turning into an adult, as Louise said, 'it makes for something interesting from a marketing point of view.'
But there goes my dream down the dumpster. I'll just have to wait and give it my all.
Patience, patience, if you want to do it, you will do it. Enjoy the sense of promise. Try a variety of writing, try a spiritual poem perhaps, show your parents that, ease them in to your interest. You won't be 17 forever. Think vintage wine, think of the best cheeses. Time adds insight to skill, experience can only make you better and better as a writer and time may bring greater freedom from social and family control, strategically handled.
Thank you Anthony. I'm not going to give up on writing. I was just wondering what other people though about it because I haven't heard of many famous teenage writers.
But as you say, it's about passion and not age and I know I'm passionate enough.. :)
