I'm embarrassed to write fanfic because I think I'm too old.

That's right, reddit! I'm 25 years old, married and with a stable job and my dream has always been to publish my book.

I wrote a fanfic about ten years ago, it grew and matured with me, but I never had the courage to talk about it or publish it somewhere.

Today I see books with AI, without soul and I think to myself if my time has passed and I should give up for good. I don't know, sometimes I feel like it's a wasted talent... sometimes I think I'm foolish, but I know it's shyness taking over, have you ever been through something like that?
