Writing means a catharsis for me... I also dreamed to become a writer before. Way back then, I love writing love stories,speech and short stories, until I have to give it up because I have to look for a lucrative career,It may not be the career I have chosen right now but I think its never too late to write something that you can call your own masterpiece. 

Every successful writer was once a beginner and a neophyte like me, as long as you have the passion and enthusiasm,I don't think you can go wrong.
