I have to agree with sartorias. Although, I haven't had a whole bunch of time to consider this, seeing as I'm almost eighteen and have been writing since I was fourteen. :p
It's at least a relief that professional writers are trying to help the smaller fanfic writers, though. But it also harder when I keep on measuring my work against my boyfriend's who's another great writer, but it's probably going to be a while before he takes the dive into the professional career...at least he better if we're planning, or trying to get our stories out there.....
The sad thing is, I've spent what...about three years on my current story (hope it's okay to mention the title) The Storm's Edge, and after those years, everything has been modified and now the entire story is changed. It's definitely the best thing I've ever written and it's my baby, but...comparing it, once again, to everyone else who are professional writers, I doubt my "skill" in writing and get discouraged...then again, I brought it upon myself. If I ever get do do what I've dreamed of and was actually able to publish it and its two sequels, I'd be so happy, but lets face it, how often does that happen, right? ;)
