The later an author starts writing, the better. We have been writing for more than 5,000 years now. Many, many things have already been written. If you don’t have enough reading experience, you would probably end up with the illusion that you are writing something original, while it is actually very old. I simply don’t believe in literary wunderkinds. Every trade has its optimal age. With the serious fiction writing it is, I believe, one’s fifties.
