Okay, so without going into my complete life story which would without doubt entertain you guys to no end(LOL), here’s how it goes.
I have done three things and had three passions and hobbies since I was little. Playing Football(Soccer) and writing and reading. When I was little, I played football casually, and also read and wrote allot. By about age thirteen, however, the football got more serious and I began playing in travel leagues.
While I was in high school, I got as far as playing in a(believe what you want but it’s true) Semi-Professional league called the Y-League. It was just a talent development league, we didn’t get payed or anything.
After I hit thirteen, I complete stopped writing stories and only read books in school as they required so. I have played football for the past fifteen years, extremely hard for the past seven, and now my body is just getting burnt out to be honest.
My academic intelligence has suffered. I can barely put together sentences when I talk to people, let alone write. Already, *Blushes red with embarrassment* I’ve had to use spell check on almost every paragraph I’ve written so far.
But I want to start writing again like I did when I was younger, out of pure interest and love. I will work my regular job and write for fun. I’ve already joined sites such as fan fiction.net and fiction.net.
Question is, do you think I’m too old to start writing again? I’m twenty five, do you think it’s too dorky? I told my parents this and they just laughed and made fun of me. What should I do? Am I too much of a loser if I choose to stay single, not date women, and live in my own world writing fiction stories?

25 is not too old. Ur still young. Many many writers out there didnt get anything even published until their late 30′s and 40′s. Ur still young and have many opportunities. Go for it.
You are NEVER too old to write. Keep “spell check” handy, though. “Payed” is spelled paid. Follow your passion and I look forward to reading some of your work!
Since you are writing posts on Yahoo I assume you are still alive. Long as you’re alive you can do anything you want to do! If you want to be a writer it’s not too late be a writer.. I carried in index card with me for years that my mother had given me. On the card was a quote. Well read whether you think you can or you think you can’t you’re right. – Henry Ford. Now just get out there and do it!
Never loose sight of your passion, your never to old to do what you love. As for the women situation all will come in due time you just have to be yourself and have fun!
Any answer I’d give to this ridiculous question would label me a troll.
You may still be too young
Seriously, no, you are not too old. You can start writing at any age – I forget what the lady’s name is, but someone recently had her first book published at over 90.
“Am I too much of a loser if I choose to stay single, not date women, and live in my own world writing fiction stories?”
I don’t understand what the connection between these things is. Says the 41 year old married mum of two who loves going into her own world and writing stories, and whose husband beta-reads for her. You don’t have to be single to write.
(p.s. It’s not semi-professional if you don’t get paid. Being paid is what distinguishes professional and semi-professional athletes from amateur ones.)
Janet Evanovich published her first Stephanie Plum book at 47, Stephenie Meyer, Twilight at 37. Tolstoy published his last book at 80. It’s never too late to get better at something you love.
