>99% of the great work written by 30+.
So, most great works were written by people in their 30’s? Ok. Now answer this question. Do you really think said work was the first thing they ever wrote? All those people had been writing for much longer than that. They just coincidentally experienced the height of their career in their 30’s. If you wait until then, you will never be as great as they were.

You’re never going to be a good or great writer in your 30s if you shrug off writing until then because you think there’s an arbitrary threshold you need to pass first.

Read a lot, write a lot, and think about doing the latter when you’re not. That’s the only way you’ll ever be good.

In a really intellectual and imaginative field of knowledge like mathematics most breakthroughs are made at very young age. You have Abel who died at 26 and Galois who died at 20. Of course there are important exceptions, but generally if you can work on something with a rusty old brain, then it's not a brainy trade.

You'll know when it's time to start writing if that time ever comes and for some people it could come at 23 or even younger but obviously it hasn't for you
Don't believe all this bullshit that posers and pseuds will try to tell you about forcing yourself to write all the time and studying that's what people do when they want to be a writer and aren't cut out for it and that's also how you learn to hate writing
Writing isn't about grinding out a bunch of unreadable shit and suddenly you'll just be there and make something good this isn't math or science or athletics it doesn't work like that
If you have something to say and you're passionate enough about it to do the work you'll be a writer at that point
I mean I guarantee you that if we had access to early writings of most famous authors it wouldn't just be a bunch of trash
The harsh reality is you're either good or not you don't develop writing you only develop your ideas which you will do regardless
The barrier to entry for writing is virtually nothing anybody can be a writer okay maybe you have some grammar issues or a small vocabulary but that's it once that's done there's no more prep work
30 is probably just a sweet spot for the average writer they've lived enough had enough experiences developed a cohesive view of people and the world
If you're sufficiently smart have the critical thinking skills you will have collected enough stuff in your head by this point and should at least be able to write something interesting
