Re: be honest

[(Anonymous)]

Fanfic writers who say they want to be published before they're 25, for several reasons. First, that's just not realistic for most people unless your parents own a publishing company, and writing fanfiction =/= writing fiction no matter how many times people bring up E.L. James, etc. Second, it reeks of that "OMG 25 is so ancient I might as well be dead!" hysteria that is so depressingly common in fandom.

At a writers' panel at DragonCon in 2011 I learned that most writers get their first publication in their 40s. Of the panellists, the one published earliest had made it the day before her 40th birthday; another had taken so long she refused to admit how old she'd been when first published.

I wonder if it's just an acknowledgement that if you don't start making money from writing in your 20s, you are going to have to find some other kind of serious, dedicated way to eke out an income while you keep writing.
