Hi Tim,

Don't worry about being in high school. Plenty of people start their career young. You might have to suffer a few rejections at the hand of publishers - complaining about style, age or whatever. Nothing is or can stop you but your own lack of will.

As far as that goes don't even worry about polishing your style. To see what I mean look at Heinlein's first novel "For Us the Living: A Comedy of Customs" (1939) It's nothing like his more polished mature style, say in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" (1966, Hugo 1967).

In any case, with all the crap that's out there, you could hardly do worse. After you get that first one in print you will be off like a rocket.

Good Luck,

Dr. R.
