Well, somebody has to accomplish your dream of becoming a writer.
And it might as well be you.
Now, read everything you can. Write a lot. (You’re 16. You don’t have to finish everything you start. Just write.) Get all the living in you need. Meet all the people you can. (Life is useful for plots. People are useful for characters.) And have fun with it.

Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count’nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.
