Having nothing interesting to say could be amazing premise for a philosophical exploration if you weren't such a collosal bowl of dildos

Don't sweat it. Just keep reading great books and writing things when you feel like it.

There's time enough, and when the time is right you'll know. There's no point forcing something now and souring the whole idea.

What do you mean? Saul Kripke was writing philosophical papers before he was even 20. Your age doesn't affect your ability to write philosophy, your education does.
