The most important thing I can tell you about writing or any other creative pursuit is this:
Give yourself permission to do it and don't worry about being "good" at it.
Life is short. Creativity is joyful. Just do it! Have fun. Muck about.
If you stick it out, you can get good at it over time, if that's important to you — but it doesn't have to be.
You can just play with creativity for the pure joy of it, too.
If it brings you joy, do it.

ca 15 years ago i used some webpage that would take my email address and then send me updates whenever the urls i had specified would change. IIRC they made that service cost money a long time ago at which point i DIYed it in shell script
it was called ChangeDetection, so running my own email server, that's the email address i used there: from.changedetection@mydomain. i think they shut down shortly after trying to monetise, so i haven't had any emails coming in on that address in a LONG time
until…
guess what just happened? very sleazy looking US company "seamless.ai" just sent me a "Personal Data Privacy Notice" about "wanting to inform you of the collection, processing, and sharing of your personal data"… to the address i once gave that ChangeDetection service!
they are trying to do GDPR but are failing spectacularly by sourcing email addresses from gods-know-where. i guess the ChangeDetection people ultimately did find a way to monetise that site by selling their database to spammers
unfortunately they won't let me GDPR request a data removal without doxxing myself to them. no way i'm doing that. on the other hand the only data they have is an old, unused email address that i can just tag for perpetual greylisting

An important fundraiser for trans people. Sadly, getting justice doesn't come cheap in the UK, and taking a case to the ECtHR is the most expensive of all. We don't have the bottomless pockets that TERFs have. So please donate if you can and then share, and if you can't, please just share.
