Here's one that has bothered me for a long time... I am writing (as I always am) a children's fantasy novel that I hope to submit to an agent this year. It's a fairly dark, spooky story in a magical setting, starring an ordinary girl. I only have one problem with it...
I'm only 21.
Is that enough life experience to be writing anything? Can a person's style be sufficiently mature by that age? Will an agent look at the DOB and dismiss the submission? I'd appreciate some thoughts on this!
I've been writing on and off since I was thirteen. The stories (I hope) have improved over the years, but it has always been something that I enjoy doing. Go for it. I can't see a problem with age. If anything, you have more practice time.
I'm only fourteen years old and I've been writing seriously for four years. Do I still have a chance?
No, dont let anyone tell you that you are too young to write ! :) Write because you want to, because you need to, because it is your passion and interest. Write whatever you want, as much as you want and be free with it. :))
